Paris—IWC Schaffhausen ambassador Tony Parker was the guest of honor at a charity dinner hosted by the luxury watch brand and the Make-A-Wish Foundation France.

The dinner, held at the Park Hyatt Place Vendome, raised a record 200,000 euros (about $289,453) to help raise money for sick children around the world. This amount greatly surpassed last year's proceeds of 110,000 euros (about $159,199).

IWC Schaffhausen donated an exclusive Portuguese Chrono-Automatic with Tony Parker's signature engraved on the case back for the event. Other auction items included signed jerseys from the San Antonio Spurs, David Beckham, Thierry Henry, Franck Ribery and David Trezeguet, Amelie Mauresmo's tennis racquet and a trip to New York to watch an NBA basketball game.

Other guest attendees included U.S. ambassador to France Craig Stapleton and sports legends Pascal Bideégorry, Jean-Alain Boumsoung, Richard Dacoury, Leslie Djohnes, Ladji Doucouré, David Douillet, Tony Estanguet, Luis Fernandez, Fabien Galthié, Céline Giraud, Sandra Laoura, Sylvain Marconnet and Patrick Timsit.
