41MM Stainless Steel Case & Bracelet

The iconic octagonal bezel with exposed white gold screws captures the unmistakable Royal Oak DNA, while the integrated steel bracelet ensures comfort and a seamless aesthetic.
Blue Grande Tapisserie Dial
The dial is finished with Audemars Piguet’s signature Grande Tapisserie pattern, a textured grid that reflects light dynamically to enhance visual depth. The rich blue tone offers a modern yet timeless character, complemented by faceted hands and luminous hour markers that provide excellent legibility in all conditions.
Perpetual Calendar Complications
As a faithful 1:1 replica, this watch reproduces the perpetual calendar’s full set of functions, including:
- Day indicator
- Date display
- Month and Leap Year cycle
- Moon phase complication at 6 o’clock
The subdials are positioned symmetrically to balance complexity with clarity, while the moon phase disk adds a romantic, astronomical element to the dial.
Sapphire Crystal & Enhanced Transparency
A sapphire crystal with anti-glare coating protects the dial, ensuring distortion-free readability under all light conditions. The caseback is also fitted with sapphire crystal, revealing the detailed finishing of the movement inside.
Swiss-Modified Calibre 5134 Automatic
At its heart is a 9015 calibre, meticulously modified to replicate AP’s in-house Calibre 5134. This Swiss automatic movement ensures reliable accuracy while powering the perpetual calendar’s advanced functions. Through the transparent caseback, enthusiasts can admire the rotor and bridges, which highlight the artistry of Swiss watchmaking.
