Audemars Piguet Super Clone Watches 1:1 Royal Oak Black Ceramic Blue Dial 26240CE Selfwinding Chronograph

Original price was: $1,899.00.Current price is: $1,299.00.

APSF Edition — Integrated Black Ceramic Bracelet

The APS Factory (APSF) release of the 26240CE marks a significant technical milestone in replica horology. By achieving the unprecedented 12.0mm case thickness, this iteration resolves the historical bulkiness associated with older chronograph replicas and precisely matches the genuine blueprint.

Powered by the custom-developed Calibre 4401 clone, this architecture abandons the outdated Asian 7750 piggyback module. It features a fully integrated chronograph mechanism with precise snap-back reset and correct subdial spacing, ensuring the running seconds remain properly positioned at 6 o’clock. Power reserve operates reliably at approximately 36 hours.

The chassis is milled from high-grade black ceramic (ZrO2), offering exceptional scratch resistance and a substantial 160g weight that mimics the tactile presence of the genuine article. The vertical satined-finish blue dial (#003A70) exhibits accurate brushed/polished alternating finishing on the applied markers, protected by a glareproofed sapphire crystal.

  • Movement: Custom Calibre 4401 Clone — Approximately 36 hours
  • Case Material: High-Grade Black Ceramic (ZrO2), 41mm diameter, 160g weight
  • Bezel: Brushed Black Ceramic with polished chamfers
  • Crystal: Glareproofed Sapphire Crystal
  • Bracelet: Integrated Black Ceramic, titanium double deployant clasp
  • Water Resistance: 30m stated rating — professional pressure test recommended before swimming. Do not operate chronograph pushers or the crown while the watch is submerged.

This reference serves the collector seeking a highly technical, non-metallic chronograph with exact 1:1 dimensions. The ceramic construction provides a distinct wrist presence while requiring mindful wear to avoid blunt-force impacts.

Description

APSF Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph 26240CE Black Ceramic

An integrated 4401 clone encased in precisely finished ZrO2 ceramic, resolving the structural thickness flaws of previous generations.

Powered by Custom Calibre 4401 Clone

The APSF Calibre 4401 represents a paradigm shift for AP chronograph replicas, moving away from thick modular constructions to a truly integrated architecture. This design not only slims the profile but ensures the subdial pinions are natively positioned, eliminating the sunken date wheel effect. Before dispatch, all movements are evaluated against our strict QC standards to verify chronograph engagement and reset alignment.

⏱ Accuracy Profile:

Typically regulated to ±5–8 seconds per day. The integrated chronograph module maintains stable amplitude even when complications are engaged.

  • ✅ Power Reserve: Approximately 36 hours
  • ✅ Complications: 12-hour chronograph, 30-minute counter, running seconds at 6 o’clock, quickset date
  • ✅ Winding Direction: Unidirectional (clockwise)

THE DIALVertical Satined Blue

Features accurate subdial concentric texturing and crisp logo printing. The applied markers display correct brushed/polished alternating finishing.

THE BEZELBrushed Ceramic

Exhibits a precise vertical brush stroke matching the case, contrasted by highly polished chamfered edges and aligned white gold-plated hexagonal screws.

THE BRACELETIntegrated Ceramic

Demonstrates superior integrated bracelet fit with minimal endplay, secured by a reliable titanium double deployant butterfly clasp.

Why APSF for This Reference?

Many collectors ask: “Why not ZF?”

While ZF produces highly competitive Royal Oak models, APSF pioneered the fully integrated 4401 clone movement. This specific innovation is what allows the APSF 26240CE to achieve the exact 12.0mm thickness of the genuine article, avoiding the 14mm+ bulk of older 7750-based alternatives. Furthermore, APSF’s ceramic brushing grain closely mimics the lightplay of the genuine Audemars Piguet finish.

Full Disclosure: The rotor bearing on the 4401 clone can exhibit slight audible winding noise in quiet environments, and the inner edges of the ceramic bracelet links may feel marginally sharper than the genuine piece.

Collector Q&A

Q: How does the thickness of the APSF 26240CE compare to the genuine AP?

A: The APSF utilizes the custom Calibre 4401 clone, which allows the case to measure exactly 12.0mm thick, precisely matching the genuine Audemars Piguet blueprint. Older replicas using modified 7750 movements were typically 14mm or thicker.

Q: Are the chronograph functions fully operational on this movement?

A: Yes. The integrated 4401 movement features a fully functional chronograph with a column-wheel-like pusher feel, precise snap-back reset, and the correct running seconds subdial natively positioned at 6 o’clock.

Q: Is the black ceramic case prone to scratching or fading?

A: The case and bracelet are constructed from solid high-grade ZrO2 ceramic, making them highly resistant to scratches and completely immune to UV fading. However, ceramic is brittle by nature and can chip or shatter upon heavy blunt impact.

Q: What are the known limitations of this specific APSF release?

A: While the case dimensions and ceramic finishing are exceptionally accurate, collectors note that the date wheel font can appear marginally thicker than genuine under magnification, and the movement rotor may produce a slight audible whirring noise during active wrist movement.
