Key Features:
– **Movement**: Powered by the APS-developed Calibre 5134 clone, this integrated automatic movement faithfully replicates the genuine Audemars Piguet mechanism. It delivers full perpetual calendar functionality, including day, date, month, leap year, and true astronomical moonphase display. Unlike simplified replicas, APS ensures every complication operates as it does in the original. With a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, a power reserve of approximately 40+ hours, and refined decoration with Geneva striping and perlage, the movement is both technically reliable and visually sophisticated.
– **Case**: The 41mm full ceramic case is ultra-thin at 10.5mm, significantly slimmer than generic replicas (14mm) and perfectly aligned with the genuine Royal Oak proportions. The case is meticulously crafted in black ceramic, offering exceptional scratch resistance and a bold, modern presence. The iconic octagonal bezel is fitted with eight polished hexagonal screws and finished with alternating brushed and polished surfaces, enhancing both luxury and sportiness.
– **Dial**:The watch features a black “Grande Tapisserie” textured dial, one of Audemars Piguet’s most iconic design elements. Sub-dials are harmoniously laid out for perpetual calendar functions, ensuring perfect balance and legibility. The astronomical moonphase at 6 o’clock showcases a highly detailed lunar disc, designed for astronomical accuracy, deviating by only one day every 122 years. White gold hands and indices, filled with Super-LumiNova, ensure visibility in low-light environments.
– **Bezel**: The black ceramic octagonal bezel captures the architectural strength of the Royal Oak. Its brushed flat surfaces and polished bevels highlight the precision of APS Factory’s finishing techniques, delivering both resilience and elegance.
– **Bracelet**: The integrated black ceramic bracelet flows seamlessly from the case, preserving the Royal Oak’s hallmark design. Its alternating brushed and polished finishes provide dynamic texture, while the folding clasp offers secure and comfortable wear.
– **Crystal**:A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating ensures durability and dial clarity. The subtle AP crown laser etching is present at 6 o’clock, confirming the meticulous attention to authenticity.
– **Functionality**:With a true perpetual calendar, this model automatically accounts for leap years and irregular months, requiring no manual adjustment until 2100. The moonphase complication adds astronomical precision and visual depth, making this timepiece both functional and artistic.
– **Water Resistance**:Built with secure seals and a screw-down crown, the watch achieves 50 meters of water resistance, ensuring practicality for everyday wear.
The APS Factory Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 26579 Black Ceramic stands as one of the finest super clone executions in the market today.
