Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15400 Textured Excellence

• The APS Watch has a dial with deep, textured letters that mirrors the original model. The English font and color match perfectly, while the lettering is identical to the original. The font for the calendar has been repositioned and reprinted to match the original version. The luminescent filling is also perfectly aligned with the original. APS took great care in polishing the hands to make them smooth and free of blemishes.

Comparing Calendar Systems

• The APS movement is polished internally to the same high standard, replicating flawlessly both its calendar and finish.

Comparing Casebacks:

• The transparent caseback features the same logo and brushing technique as the original product. The engraving on the automatic rotor is identical and the balance wheel’s position at 7 o’clock is exact. The movement is a flawless replica of the original 3120 calibre, a true integrated movement. It no longer relies on the 9015 calibre with added bridges.

Compare the movement of two people.

• The APS Watch is a perfect replica of the original caliber 3120, with a seamless integrated movement that does not compromise. The triangular shock absorber is identical to the original, while the automatic rotor wheel aligns with the original version.

Comparing Case Thickness with Crown Thickness

The APS Watch is the perfect combination of a thin case that measures only 9.7mm thick and a 41mm dial. The APS Watch is a 9.7mm thicker than other versions of the watch on the market. The upgraded case polishing and new fingerprint-resistant technology ensure that the watch remains pristine, with no discoloration at the corners of the case back.

• The APS Watch features a perfectly straight brushed waistline, matching the original model. The font of the crown matches the original product. Both the case and the bracelet have delicate brushed finishes that emphasize APS’s commitment to details.

Clasp Comparative Analysis

1. The inside of the clasp features three-dimensional embossed lettering, identical to that on the original product (notable for the fine sandblasted texture on the letters).
2. The clasp’s external details are more detailed and three-dimensional, whereas the color correction of the clasp on the inside matches the original version.
3. The “crown”, or the top part of the clasp, has been positioned and sandblasted to exactly match the original version.

Bracelet comparison:

• The bracelet is where the soul of a clock lies, and APS Watch has excelled in this area. The polished edges of each bracelet link are meticulously chamfered, which gives it an impressive luster. Each link features sections that are polished, while the other parts of each connection receive a brush treatment. This effectively resists minor scratching.
• The APS Watch is a masterpiece of refinement. It will exceed all your expectations. Discover the ultimate in attention to detail and craftsmanship. Designed for those that appreciate the finer points of life.
