Audemars Piguet Super Clone Watches 1:1 Royal Oak Gray Dial 26240BC Self-winding Chronograph

Original price was: $1,849.00.Current price is: $1,249.00.

APS Factory Edition — Frosted Integrated Bracelet

The APSF 26240BC represents a notable technical achievement in replica horology, specifically regarding the execution of the Florentine frosted finish. Achieving the micro-hammered texture without compromising the structural integrity of the integrated bracelet links has historically challenged manufacturers, but APSF delivers a uniform light-refracting surface that closely mirrors genuine tolerances.

At the core of this reference is the 1:1 clone Calibre 4401. Unlike older iterations that relied on bulky Asian 7750 modules, this integrated chronograph movement features a functional column wheel and permits the correct sub-dial spacing. Power reserve is rated at approximately 36 hours, maintaining stable amplitude across its winding cycle.

The 41mm case is machined to an exact 12.0mm profile, weighing in at a verified 168.2g to provide substantial wrist presence. The gray Grande Tapisserie dial exhibits precise square depth and sharp typography, avoiding the muddy printing seen in lesser tiers.

  • Movement: 1:1 Clone Calibre 4401 — Approximately 36 hours
  • Case Material: Stainless Steel (Frosted Finish), 41mm diameter, 168.2g weight
  • Bezel: Frosted stainless steel with polished hexagonal screws

Description

APSF Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph 26240BC “Frosted Gold”

A mechanical benchmark characterized by its true clone Calibre 4401 and exacting 12.0mm case profile.

Powered by Clone Calibre 4401

The implementation of the clone Calibre 4401 fundamentally elevates this replica above modular alternatives. By engineering an integrated chronograph mechanism, APSF achieves the correct sub-dial placement and an instant-jumping date complication. The skeletonized 22k gold-toned rotor provides an accurate visual through the exhibition caseback, while the functional column wheel ensures crisp tactile feedback during pusher actuation.

⏱ Accuracy Profile:

Regulated to approximately ±15 seconds per day. While not matching Dandong specifications, this movement provides reliable daily performance when fully wound.

  • ✅ Power Reserve: Approximately 36 hours
  • ✅ Complications: Flyback chronograph, instant-jumping date, small seconds at 6 o’clock
  • ✅ Winding Direction: Unidirectional winding rotor

Technical Specifications

THE BUILDFrosted Stainless Steel

Machined to a precise 41mm diameter and verified 12.0mm thickness, the case utilizes a micro-hammered Florentine finish that accurately mimics the light dispersion of the genuine article.

THE DIALGalvanic Gray Grande Tapisserie

The dial features correctly proportioned squares and sharp concentric snailing within the sub-dials. White gold-toned applied hour markers are filled with uniform luminous compound.

THE BEZELFrosted Octagonal Profile

Showcasing the signature Royal Oak geometry, the frosted bezel is secured by eight highly polished hexagonal screws that sit perfectly flush with the surface.

THE BRACELETIntegrated Frosted Link

The bracelet maintains tight tolerances with minimal lateral endplay. The alternating polished chamfers contrast sharply against the primary micro-hammered texture.

Why APS Factory for This Reference?

Many collectors ask: “Why not ZF Factory?”

While ZF produces excellent standard Royal Oaks, APSF holds a distinct advantage in the chronograph sector due to their exclusive access to the 1:1 Calibre 4401. This allows APSF to achieve the verified 12.0mm genuine thickness, whereas competing factories relying on modified 7750 movements often exceed 14mm or suffer from incorrect sub-dial spacing.

Full Disclosure: The micro-hammered Florentine finish, while visually accurate, is highly prone to trapping dust and natural skin oils compared to a standard brushed surface, necessitating frequent ultrasonic cleaning of the bracelet to maintain its brilliance.

Collector Q&A

Q: Does the APSF Calibre 4401 have a fully functional flyback chronograph?

A: Yes, the 1:1 clone Calibre 4401 features a fully functioning column wheel and vertical clutch, supporting the flyback complication just like the genuine movement.

Q: How accurate is the gray dial color compared to the genuine 26240BC?

A: The APSF gray dial achieves a highly accurate galvanic tone with the correct Grande Tapisserie square depth. While lighting conditions can slightly shift the perceived hue, it lacks the undesirable purple tint found in older replica batches.

Q: Is the 12.0mm thickness identical to the authentic model?

A: Yes. By utilizing the integrated clone Calibre 4401 rather than a modular Asian 7750, APSF successfully matches the genuine 12.0mm case profile exactly.

Q: What is the main drawback of the frosted Florentine finish on this replica?

A: The micro-hammered texture accurately mimics genuine light refraction, but the deep micro-indentations tend to trap skin oils and dust more readily than brushed steel. It requires periodic cleaning with a soft brush and mild soap to maintain its brilliance.
