INSIDE LOOK
A At de Boulle, family means everything. And the Boul- les themselves — whether working together in their stores, spending time on the weekends playing with their beloved dogs or out on the racetracks cheering on the racers in the family — are one close-knit crew. The Boulles know what matters most in life: enjoying time with your family, wherever you may be. Family also in- cludes our teams. To celebrate the newly expanded Patek Philippe showroom in its Houston salon, de Boulle hosted an exclusive and extraor- dinary event. And what better way to celebrate than with our extended family at Patek Philippe? President Lisa Jones and

her team from New York — including Joe Vigorito, James Cullen, Kimly Nguyen and David Capencer — attended the opulent affair. The de Boulle team had an early start that day — 5:00 a.m., to be exact. Rentals arrived all day. The floral install was absolutely amazing. “We wanted to create an event unlike any that our friends have attended,” says Denis Boulle, owner and CEO of de- Boulle. “And, that’s exactly what we did!” After all the prep and polish, the festivities kicked off with a private cocktail party in the glittering showroom.

Even the bubbly was from a family owned company, like
de Boulle: Guests sipped on Billecart-Salmon champagne, both Brut Réserve and Brut Rosé. Ultimately, guests were transported to a secret garden right outside the new store, bursting with vibrant flowers, a per - gola, a fountain and glowing lights hanging from trees. Ten boxwood hedges made the event intimate and private. There was more sipping of Billecart-Salmon, from its pres- tigious tasting experience, which offered delicious vintage bubbles. Guests dined on caviar, miniature duck confit egg rolls, coriander encrusted ahi tuna and more. DJ Hoyett played tunes. At the end of the intimate evening, guests left with a bot- tle of Billecart-Salmon champagne — complete with a hand-painted de Boulle logo — as well as lovely gifts from Patek Philippe. It was a night under the stars with Patek Philippe, de Boulle and more of our extended family, including A Fare Extraor- dinaire and Blooming Gallery, both of Houston and both exemplifying extraordinary work. It was a magical night for all — one that will not be forgotten.
