Held at London's Battersea Power Station on 10th November 2012, the 1950s Cote D'Azur themed ball was hosted by David Furnish and Kevin Spacey. The event included a three-course dinner by Helene Darroze, live performances by Labrinth and Emeli Sandé, and a fundraising auction.
Labrinth donated an auction lot including his personal Raymond Weil BRIT Awards watch, dinner at his restaurant Mosaica, and a bespoke music track.
Raymond Weil is the Official Watch and Timing Partner of the BRIT Awards, gifting a limited edition timepiece to all presenters, nominees and performers at the ceremony. Ahead of the 2012 Awards the luxury watch brand hosted a special pre-Awards party in association with Labrinth, and the auctioned watch had been worn by the artist throughout the event.
The lot was sold for a winning bid of £180,000 - the highest price of an auction lot ever sold at the Grey Goose Winter Ball. The night raised a total £1,095,582 for the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
