ZF Factory has once again delivered a stunning piece: the AP Royal Oak 15450ST. This midsize model features a 37mm diameter and a thickness of 9.8mm, making it an ideal choice for those with smaller wrists.
The case of this model has been meticulously created using a 3D scan of the original 15450ST. ZF Factory used this data to build a model that matches the original in terms of structure, adopting the same three-piece case set design as the genuine article. After trial production, the case underwent further adjustments and refinements, including modifications to dimensions, angles, thickness, and surface polish to achieve a final result that mirrors the original’s proportions perfectly. Every detail of the case and bracelet has been precisely crafted, with each link polished hundreds of times to ensure it has the correct texture and appearance. Even the folding clasp is perfectly aligned, ensuring comfortable wear with effortless opening and closing, and the bracelet links are just as well-polished and fitted as the original. The movable head links align seamlessly with the case lugs, providing a comfortable fit that hugs the wrist.
The dial of this model features the iconic “Grande Tapisserie” pattern with a raised texture, paired with luminous, applied hour markers and the characteristic Royal Oak hands. The large markers and hands make it easy to tell the time at a glance. At the three o’clock position, there is a date display window, shown in Arabic numerals, which maintains the classic aesthetic of the Royal Oak series.
The ZF Factory has fitted this watch with their own integrated CAL.3120 mechanical movement. The balance wheel is positioned at the 7 o’clock mark, just as it is in the genuine watch, and it includes a flat hairspring. All of the gears and the mainspring barrel on the bridge plate are functional, providing a power reserve of 41 hours, exactly like the original. This integrated movement is highly stable, durable, and known for its low rate of repair needs.
Overall, the ZF Factory AP Royal Oak 15450ST is a great option for those seeking a high-quality, midsize timepiece. Its meticulous craftsmanship and adherence to the genuine model’s specifications make it a perfect choice for anyone with a smaller wrist who desires a luxurious and reliable watch.
