The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Clone Perpetual Calendar 26574ST Black Dial embodies sleek modernity with its all-black case, bracelet, and dial. This 1:1 replica captures the timeless appeal of the Royal Oak while reimagining it in a bold, contemporary monochrome palette.
All-Black Stainless Steel Case & Bracelet
Crafted from high-grade 316L stainless steel, the case and integrated bracelet are finished with a black coating for a modern edge. Measuring 41MM in diameter and 11.4MM in thickness, the watch maintains the authentic proportions of the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar, ensuring a comfortable yet commanding presence on the wrist.
Signature Octagonal Bezel
The Royal Oak’s legendary octagonal bezel is rendered in the same black finish, accented by hexagonal screws that enhance its industrial elegance. The interplay of brushed and polished surfaces reflects Audemars Piguet’s commitment to design precision, even in a stealth-inspired aesthetic.
Black Dial with Perpetual Calendar Functions
The dial is presented in deep black, engraved with the brand’s iconic Grande Tapisserie motif. White markings and luminous accents ensure clear legibility despite the dark design. Functions include:
- Day of the week
- Date and Month
- Leap Year cycle
- Moon Phase at 6 o’clock
The symmetrical layout maintains the traditional beauty of the Perpetual Calendar while presenting it in a more dramatic form.
Swiss-Modified Calibre 5134 Movement
At its core, the watch is powered by a customized 9015 calibre, modified to replicate the Audemars Piguet Calibre 5134 automatic perpetual calendar. This movement delivers reliable accuracy across all complications, while the rotor and bridges are decorated to replicate the refined look of the original Swiss mechanism.
Sapphire Crystal Protection
Both the front and back of the watch are fitted with sapphire crystal glass. The front crystal is treated with anti-glare coating, ensuring clarity in all lighting conditions. The caseback reveals the decorated movement, offering watch enthusiasts a window into the intricate mechanics beneath.
