Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Clone Perpetual Calendar 26574ST Blue & White Dial – Distinctive Dual-Tone Style
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar 26574ST Blue & White Dial Clone brings a fresh interpretation to one of AP’s most complex timepieces. With its striking two-tone dial, stainless steel architecture, and full perpetual calendar features, this 41MM clone offers collectors both mechanical brilliance and a daring sense of style.
Stainless Steel Case & Bracelet
The case is crafted from 316L stainless steel, measuring 41MM in diameter and just 11.4MM in thickness. The brushed and polished finishing highlights the angular lines of the Royal Oak, while the integrated bracelet ensures both durability and elegance. The iconic octagonal bezel, secured with eight polished screws, reinforces the instantly recognizable AP silhouette.
Blue & White Grande Tapisserie Dial
The dial is where this model truly stands out. A vibrant blue background adorned with the signature Grande Tapisserie pattern provides depth and texture, while the white subdials create bold contrast for easy readability. Applied luminous markers and faceted hands further elevate the dial’s clarity, ensuring precision under all lighting conditions. This colorway delivers a playful yet refined take on the classic perpetual calendar layout.
Perpetual Calendar Functions
The watch reproduces the full range of perpetual calendar complications, including:
- Day of the week
- Date of the month
- Month and leap year indicator
- Moon phase display at 6 o’clock
The subdials are arranged with symmetry, balancing the busy complication set while maintaining AP’s elegant aesthetic. The moon phase disk is finely detailed, adding both artistry and astronomical precision.
Sapphire Crystal & Enhanced Clarity
The watch is equipped with sapphire crystal glass featuring anti-glare treatment, ensuring maximum transparency and distortion-free legibility. The caseback also includes sapphire crystal, revealing the decorated automatic movement inside.
Swiss-Modified Calibre 5134 Automatic
Powering the watch is a customized 9015 calibre, modified to replicate Audemars Piguet’s in-house Calibre 5134. This Swiss-modified movement ensures reliable accuracy and supports the perpetual calendar’s full range of functions. Visible through the transparent caseback, the skeletonized rotor and detailed finishing provide a luxurious glimpse of Swiss horology at work.
