APS Factory Edition — Integrated 18k Gold Plated Bracelet

The 41mm Royal Oak Chronograph in full yellow gold is a commanding piece, and APS Factory has established the horological benchmark for the 26240BA reference. Unlike earlier iterations from competing factories that struggled with case proportions, this edition achieves the exact 12.2mm thickness of the genuine article. This precise geometry is a direct result of their custom-developed movement architecture, addressing a long-standing critique within the replica collector community.

Powering this reference is the Super Clone Calibre 4401 automatic chronograph. APS Factory has engineered a true 1:1 integrated architecture, discarding the older, modified 7750 bases with decorative plates. It features a fully functional chronograph module, the correct date wheel font, and an intricately finished rotor visible through the sapphire caseback. The power reserve is approximately 36 hours.

The 41mm case and integrated bracelet are constructed from stainless steel, heavily plated in 18k yellow gold. The alternating brushed and polished finishing on the bracelet links is executed with strict tolerances, matching the distinctive light-play of the genuine piece. The matching gold dial features the iconic Grande Tapisserie pattern with excellent depth and crisp sub-dial printing.

Description

APS Factory Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph 26240BA

The APSF 26240BA sets the standard for AP chronograph replicas by combining a true clone Calibre 4401 with the correct 12.2mm case profile.

At the Core — Super Clone Calibre 4401

The development of the clone Calibre 4401 by APS Factory represents a significant leap in replica chronograph mechanics. By engineering an integrated chronograph movement rather than relying on a modular base, APSF successfully eliminated the sunken date wheel issue that plagued earlier iterations. The movement features a fully operational column wheel and vertical clutch mechanism, ensuring crisp pusher engagement. Every caliber is tested against our strict QC standards to verify amplitude and beat error before dispatch.

⏱ Accuracy Profile:

The APSF Calibre 4401 is typically regulated to operate within ±10–15 seconds per day, consistent with high-beat Asian clone chronographs.

✅ Power Reserve: Approximately 36 hours
✅ Complications: Hours, minutes, small seconds, date display, and fully functional chronograph
✅ Winding Direction: Bidirectional rotor winding

Technical Specifications

THE BUILD18k Yellow Gold Plated Steel

The case measures exactly 41mm in diameter and 12.2mm in thickness. The alternating brushed and polished finishing ratio mirrors the genuine, highlighting the sharp, angular geometry of the Royal Oak.

THE DIALGold Grande Tapisserie

The dial features the signature Grande Tapisserie pattern with excellent three-dimensional depth. Sub-dials are sharply recessed, and the applied hour markers are filled with consistent luminescent material.

THE BEZELOctagonal Plated Steel

The iconic octagonal bezel is secured by eight polished, white gold-plated hexagonal screws. The vertical brushing on the bezel surface is deep and uniform, contrasting perfectly with the polished chamfered edges.

THE BRACELETIntegrated Tapered Bracelet

The integrated bracelet features tight endplay tolerances between links. The double deployant clasp snaps securely, and the brushed finish on the gold plating is highly resistant to casual scuffing.

APS Factory vs. the Alternatives

One recurring question: “Why not ZF Factory?”

While ZF produces excellent Royal Oak variants, APS Factory holds the distinct advantage for the 26240 chronograph series due to their proprietary Calibre 4401. Older batches from competing factories relied on modified 7750 movements, forcing the case thickness to exceed 14mm. APSF’s integrated movement allows this piece to sit at the correct 12.2mm thickness, fundamentally changing how the watch wears on the wrist.

Full Disclosure: Because this watch is constructed from stainless steel and plated in 18k yellow gold, its overall mass is significantly lighter than a genuine solid gold Royal Oak. This weight discrepancy is an unavoidable limitation of all plated replicas.

Questions from Collectors

Q: Does the chronograph function exactly like the genuine Calibre 4401?

A: Yes, the APS Factory Calibre 4401 is a fully integrated clone. All sub-dials (hours, minutes, running seconds) and the central chronograph hand function correctly, unlike older modified 7750 movements which often featured frozen or dummy sub-dials.

Q: How accurate is the yellow gold tone on this APSF 26240BA?

A: APS Factory uses a high-quality 18k yellow gold plating. While the hue is highly accurate to Audemars Piguet’s factory alloy under natural light, it is a plated steel watch, meaning it lacks the dense, heavy mass of a solid gold genuine piece.

Q: Is the case thickness identical to the genuine 26240?

A: Yes. Because this model utilizes the custom clone Calibre 4401 rather than a bulky modular movement, APS Factory was able to achieve the exact 12.2mm case thickness of the genuine reference.

Q: Is there noticeable rotor noise on this clone movement?

A: As with many high-beat clone movements, the Calibre 4401 can exhibit slight rotor noise during vigorous wrist movement. This is a known quirk of the factory’s bearing design, though it can be mitigated with a light application of Moebius 9010 oil by a watchsmith.
