APS Factory presents a new release: the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Series 26240—a 41mm stainless steel automatic chronograph.
It is powered by APS’s proprietary, in-house developed Calibre 4401 integrated movement, featuring flyback chronograph functionality, hour/minute/small seconds displays, and a date function.
Its iconic octagonal bezel, secured by eight hexagonal screws, is paired with a “Grande Tapisserie” large checkered dial, creating a striking sense of depth and dimension. The integrated stainless steel bracelet carries forward the classic design of the original 1972 Royal Oak, embodying a perfect blend of sportiness and elegance.
The newly developed integrated movement utilizes a column wheel and vertical clutch mechanism, beating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour—precisely matching the original model. It offers a power reserve of approximately 70 hours and is water-resistant to a depth of 50 meters.
By fusing haute horlogerie craftsmanship with avant-garde aesthetics, this timepiece stands as a quintessential example of a luxury sports watch. Following extensive comparative testing, APS has achieved a flawless replication that comes remarkably close to the original.
