Description
APS Factory Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph 26240OR Rose Gold
A definitive technical achievement allowing for the genuine 12.0mm case profile via an integrated clone caliber.
Powered by Clone Calibre 4401
The introduction of the clone Calibre 4401 marks a departure from the historically thick, modular 7750 chronograph movements. This integrated architecture allows the sub-dials to sit at the correct positions on the dial without recessed pinions. The movement operates at 28,800 vph, featuring a fully functional chronograph mechanism and the signature instantaneous date jump at midnight, closely mirroring the genuine mechanical behavior.
�� Accuracy Profile:
Regulated to approximately 卤8��12 seconds per day. The integrated chronograph module requires robust mainspring torque, and frequent use of the pushers will slightly impact overall isochronism.
- �� Power Reserve: Approximately 36 hours
- �� Complications: Fully functional chronograph, running seconds at 6 o��clock, instantaneous date
- �� Winding Direction: Bidirectional rotor winding
Technical Specifications
THE BUILDRose Gold-Plated 316L Steel
Measuring exactly 41mm in diameter and a highly accurate 12.0mm in thickness. The case exhibits the correct alternating brushed and polished finishing specific to the Royal Oak lineage.
THE DIALBlack Grande Tapisserie
Features sharp, well-defined squares with concentric circular graining on the sub-dials. The applied rose gold-toned indices are filled with correctly applied luminous compound.
THE BEZELBrushed Steel with Gold Plating
The octagonal bezel is secured with eight recessed hexagonal screws. The vertical brushing is pronounced, contrasting sharply with the high-polish chamfered edges.
THE BRACELETIntegrated AP Bracelet
Rose gold-plated solid links featuring the correct taper from the lugs to the double deployant clasp, exhibiting tight tolerances and minimal endplay.
Why APSF for This Reference?
Many collectors ask: ��Why not ZF Factory?��
While ZF produces excellent Royal Oak variants, APSF is the definitive choice for the 26240 chronograph due to their proprietary integration of the Calibre 4401. This allows the watch to achieve the exact 12.0mm thickness of the genuine piece, whereas older modified movements force a noticeably thicker case profile. Furthermore, APSF��s execution of the brushed/polished alternating finishing on the integrated bracelet links remains the benchmark for this specific model.
Full Disclosure: At 166.9 grams, this replica is noticeably lighter than the solid gold genuine article. Additionally, under harsh direct lighting, the black dial��s galvanic coating can exhibit a dark brown undertone rather than absolute pitch black.

Collector Q&A
Q: Does the chronograph function work exactly like the genuine AP Calibre 4401?
A: Yes, the APSF clone Calibre 4401 features a fully functional chronograph mechanism with proper sub-dial spacing at 3, 6, and 9 o��clock. It also replicates the instantaneous date jump feature found on the genuine movement.
Q: Is the 12.0mm case thickness accurate to the genuine 26240OR?
A: Yes. By utilizing the integrated clone Calibre 4401 rather than a modified 7750 base with a decorative module, APSF successfully achieves the exact 12.0mm case profile of the genuine reference.
Q: How accurate is the rose gold plating color and durability?
A: The APSF rose gold plating is meticulously tone-matched to Audemars Piguet��s proprietary alloy. However, as with all plated 316L steel replicas, it requires careful wear to avoid deep scratches that could expose the steel base underneath.
Q: What is the most notable flaw on this specific APSF 26240OR release?
A: The primary tell is the overall weight. At 166.9 grams, it is significantly lighter than the solid gold genuine piece which weighs over 200 grams. Additionally, the black dial��s galvanic coating can exhibit a subtle dark brown undertone under harsh direct lighting.
