The reference BC15066, affectionately nicknamed "Canapé" by connoisseurs, is one of Audemars Piguets classic dress watches.
 Its distinctive rectangular case with gracefully curved contours evokes, in side profile, the elegant lines of an Art Deco piece of furniture - likely the inspiration behind the nickname "Canapé".
Crafted from 18 K white gold, the watch wears like a tailored suit: comfortable, understated, and perfectly proportioned. The minimalist dial alternates between applied indexes and Roman numerals, highlighting its quiet sophistication.
The Canapé is a true insiders tip among collectors - a timepiece that doesnt shout for attention, but instead captivates with understated beauty and genuine refinement.
