Description

APS Factory Audemars Piguet 26240 V2 AAAAA Grade Replica Watch

As the top-of-the-line black ceramic version of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak , model 26240CE.OO.1225CE.98 has won countless fans with its all-ceramic material and black and gold color-blocking design. The APS factory V2 version is equipped with a super-cloned 4401 integrated movement, directly breaking through the core technology barriers in the industry. After 25 days of hands-on testing, today I’ll share my real experience with you.

Lightweight and Comfortable 41mm All-Ceramic Case

First, let’s praise the high degree of accuracy of the all-ceramic case of this replica watch! It perfectly the golden ratio with the same 41mm diameter and 12.4mm thickness as the genuine product. My wrist circumference is 17.5cm, and it fits snugly without wobbling. It can easily be worn by wrists ranging from 16cm to 19cm. It looks sophisticated on men and unisex on women. Weighing approximately 145g, this watch is half the weight of its steel counterpart of the same size. Wearing it all day leaves no marks on the wrist, completely shattering the stereotype of Audemars Piguet’s bulky designs.
Both the case and bracelet are crafted from black ceramic. The APS factory’s V2 version boasts stunning finishing—alternating satin brushing and polishing, revealing a delicate rainbow-like sheen under light—a signature technique of Audemars Piguet ceramic watches. The octagonal case outline and precisely aligned screw holes feature smooth, burr-free edges, making it warm and comfortable to the touch. However, ceramic is scratch-resistant but not impact-resistant; accidental bumps against hard objects can easily chip it, requiring extra care—a common issue with all-ceramic watches.

The appearance is extremely accurate

The APS factory perfectly the genuine Grande Tapisserie pattern, with fine, regular textures and a clear tactile feel. The black dial features black and gold hour markers and hands, with a snail-patterned chronograph sub-dials at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock. The color scheme and layout are almost identical to the genuine product, making it indistinguishable from the real thing at close range.
The luminous effect is commendable. The Super-LumiNova luminous coating on the hour markers and hands is evenly and richly applied, providing a soft and non-glaring glow when illuminated at night, perfect for checking the time when getting up at night or walking at night. The crystal is a double-sided anti-reflective sapphire crystal with excellent clarity, preventing glare even in strong light. The black ceramic markers on the bezel are clearly printed and blend seamlessly with the case. However, after prolonged wear, very fine wear marks may appear along the edges of the markers, barely noticeable unless closely inspected.

The full ceramic bracelet offers an excellent wearing experience

The full ceramic bracelet is definitely the highlight of this watch! The APS factory V2 replica watch uses the same link structure as the genuine product. Each link undergoes brushing and polishing, resulting in a tight and smooth connection with no sense of sticking during movement. The folding clasp opens and closes smoothly and securely, eliminating worries about accidental detachment. The clasp itself is also made of ceramic, showcasing exquisite detail and quality.
However, the new strap is rather stiff and requires 7-10 days to gradually adapt to the wrist’s curve. The ceramic bracelet has limited adjustability; those with particularly thin or thick wrists may need to have additional links added or shortened. Additionally, while scratch-resistant, the ceramic bracelet is prone to dust accumulation in the crevices, requiring regular cleaning with a soft brush.

How good is the Super Cloned 4401 Integrated Movement Flyback Chronograph?

The movement is the biggest highlight of this replica watch! The APS factory V2 version features a self-developed Super Cloned 4401 integrated movement, completely breaking free from the limitations of traditional modified 7750 movements and the core technology of the genuine Calibre 4401 movement from its fundamental structure. Through the transparent case back, you can clearly see the 22K gold skeletonized rotor, the finely and evenly textured Geneva stripes on the bridges, the pure blued steel screws, and even the position of the Incabloc shock absorber is identical to the genuine article, creating a visually indistinguishable .
The actual performance is indeed quite impressive. It vibrates at 28,800 times per hour, with a power reserve of approximately 65-70 hours, so you don’t have to worry about it stopping even if you don’t wear it on weekends. The daily timekeeping error is around ±2 seconds, close to the Swiss chronometer certification standard. The most impressive feature is the perfect implementation of the flyback chronograph function—pressing the button at 4 o’clock instantly resets the chronograph hand to zero and restarts it, eliminating the need for the “stop-reset-start” three-step operation, making the operation feel almost identical to the genuine article. However, one minor drawback is that the chronograph buttons are slightly firmer than the genuine article, but this doesn’t significantly affect the user experience.

Overall, the APS factory V2 version of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 26240CE replica watch is absolutely top-tier quality, with its advantages far outweighing its minor, acceptable flaws. The lightweight feel of the all-ceramic material, the striking black and gold color scheme, and the powerful performance of the super-cloned 4401 integrated movement—every aspect caters to collectors’ needs. With an appearance accuracy exceeding 95%, it perfectly satisfies both everyday wear and social occasion requirements.
If you’re a collector seeking ultimate quality and a love for all-ceramic materials, this watch is definitely worth considering. It not only overcomes the movement shortcomings of traditional cloned watches but also achieves a high degree of fidelity in its appearance details, making it more valuable for collectors than ordinary watches.
