We have gathered and analysed a timeseries of 1493 high-quality
multicolour Geneva photometric data of the B3V β Cep star HD 129929. The
dataset has a time base of 21.2 years. The occurrence of a beating phenomenon is
evident from the data. We find evidence for the presence of at least six
frequencies, among which we see components of two frequency multiplets with an average
spacing of ~0.0121 c d-1 which points towards very slow rotation.
This result is in agreement with new spectroscopic data of the star and also
with previously taken UV spectra. We provide the amplitudes of the six
frequencies in all seven photometric filters. The metal content of the star
is 
. All these observational results will be used to
perform detailed seismic modelling of this massive star in a subsequent paper.
Key words: stars: oscillations / stars: variables: general / stars: individual: HD 129929
Based on data gathered with the Swiss 0.7m telescope equipped with the photometer P7 of the Geneva Observatory and with the FEROS spectrograph attached to the ESO 2.2 m telescope, both situated at La Silla in Chile; the reduced photometric multicolour data are provided in Table 1, which is only available in electronic form at the CDS via anonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or via http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/A+A/415/241
