*Key Features*:
– **Movement**:Powered by the APS-developed Calibre 5134 integrated automatic movement, this watch faithfully recreates the structure and functions of the genuine Audemars Piguet perpetual calendar. Unlike simplified market versions, APS delivers a true perpetual calendar with functional day, date, month, leap year, and moonphase indicators. The movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, offers a 40+ hour power reserve, and showcases refined finishing with perlage and Geneva striping, bringing it closer to the authentic AP caliber both visually and mechanically.
– **Case**: The 41mm stainless steel case has been carefully reduced to a thickness of 10.5mm, matching the proportions of the original model (as opposed to thicker 14mm generic replicas). The iconic octagonal bezel, secured with eight polished hexagonal screws, maintains the Royal Oak’s instantly recognizable industrial elegance. Each case surface undergoes alternating brushed and polished finishing, highlighting APS’s attention to detail and fidelity to Audemars Piguet’s original craftsmanship.
– **Dial**: Featuring the signature “Grande Tapisserie” blue dial pattern, this watch integrates the perpetual calendar functions in a perfectly balanced layout. The sub-dials display the day, date, month, and leap year, while the moonphase aperture at 6 o’clock presents a realistic lunar disc crafted with astronomical precision. The applied white gold indices and Royal Oak hands are filled with Super-LumiNova, ensuring readability even in low-light conditions.
– **Bezel**: The octagonal stainless steel bezel with brushed finishing and polished chamfers continues the iconic Royal Oak legacy. Its construction is faithful to the original, providing both strength and timeless aesthetics.
– **Bracelet**: The integrated stainless steel bracelet seamlessly flows into the case, a hallmark of Royal Oak design since 1972. Crafted with brushed links and polished bevels, the bracelet ensures comfort while retaining structural integrity. The folding clasp locks securely, providing both safety and elegance on the wrist.
– **Crystal**: Scratch-proof sapphire crystal with a colourless anti-reflective coating on both sides.
– **Functionality**: As a perpetual calendar, the watch automatically accounts for short months and leap years, ensuring accurate date-keeping without manual adjustment until the year 2100. The moonphase complication is equally precise, deviating by just one day every 122 years.
– **Water Resistance**: Waterproof to 50 meters, this means it can withstand a certain depth of water pressure, making it suitable for swimming or snorkeling, but it is not appropriate for deep diving or high-pressure environments. Nevertheless, it is still recommended to avoid direct water contact or vigorous underwater activities to maintain the watch’s long-term durability and performance.
The APS Factory Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar 26574 is not just a replica—it is a masterwork of engineering that mirrors the complexity, proportions, and aesthetic brilliance of the original. With its true perpetual calendar functions, thinner case profile, and exquisite finishing, it sets a new benchmark in the super clone watch industry.
