Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar 26574ST Black Case Blue Dial Clone – Bold & Refined
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Clone Perpetual Calendar 26574ST Black Case Blue Dial combines striking contrast with horological sophistication. With its PVD-coated all-black stainless steel case and vibrant blue dial, this watch offers collectors a contemporary interpretation of one of Audemars Piguet’s most admired designs.
Black PVD-Coated Case & Bracelet
Made from 316L stainless steel and enhanced with a PVD black coating, the 41MM case delivers both durability and a sleek modern profile. The integrated bracelet maintains the Royal Oak’s legendary fit, while the 11.4MM thickness ensures authentic proportions faithful to the original Perpetual Calendar.
Signature Octagonal Bezel
The hallmark octagonal bezel is finished in deep black, secured with hexagonal screws that remain perfectly aligned with the bezel edges. This detail reflects Audemars Piguet’s design precision and adds a bold, architectural feel to the overall look.
Vibrant Blue Dial with Full Calendar Functions
The dial’s brilliant blue tone contrasts dramatically against the black case, creating a unique visual impact. Decorated with the iconic Grande Tapisserie motif, it includes luminous hands and markers for readability. The perpetual calendar complications are displayed with clarity:
- Day of the week
- Date and Month
- Leap Year Indicator
- Moon Phase Display at 6 o’clock
Each sub-dial is symmetrically arranged, echoing the layout of the original AP design.
Swiss-Modified Calibre 5134
This clone is powered by a 9015 calibre, modified 1:1 to replicate the Calibre 5134 automatic perpetual calendar. The movement supports perpetual calendar accuracy, moon phase, and precise timekeeping, while the decorated rotor and bridges replicate the aesthetics of the Swiss mechanism.
Sapphire Crystal Clarity
The front sapphire crystal is treated with anti-reflective coating, offering crisp legibility even under direct light. The transparent caseback reveals the decorated automatic movement, giving collectors a detailed view of its craftsmanship.
