Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar 26574ST White Dial Clone – Timeless Simplicity
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Clone Perpetual Calendar 26574ST White Dial introduces a clean and elegant take on one of AP’s most iconic complications. Its luminous white dial, balanced perpetual calendar functions, and stainless steel architecture make it a versatile and refined choice for collectors who value understated luxury with advanced mechanics.
41MM Stainless Steel Construction
The case measures 41MM in diameter and 11.4MM in thickness, crafted from 316L stainless steel for strength and refinement. The brushed surfaces and polished chamfers highlight the geometric artistry of the Royal Oak, while the octagonal bezel secured with eight hexagonal screws completes the instantly recognizable silhouette. An integrated bracelet ensures both comfort and continuity in design.
White Grande Tapisserie Dial
The dial features Audemars Piguet’s signature Grande Tapisserie motif in a crisp white finish. This textured pattern adds depth and subtle reflection, creating visual intrigue under changing light. Faceted hands and luminous hour markers ensure legibility, while the dial’s purity makes the perpetual calendar functions easy to interpret at a glance.
Perpetual Calendar Functions
This 1:1 clone reproduces the perpetual calendar complication faithfully, offering:
- Day of the week
- Date of the month
- Month and leap year indicator
- Moon phase display at 6 o’clock
The symmetrical arrangement of the subdials keeps the dial harmonious despite its technical complexity. The moon phase adds a poetic element, capturing astronomical cycles with elegance.
Sapphire Crystal Clarity
A sapphire crystal with anti-glare treatment covers the dial, providing durability and distortion-free visibility. The transparent caseback, also crafted in sapphire, reveals the mechanical heart of the watch while maintaining structural integrity.
Swiss-Modified Calibre 5134 Movement
Inside, the watch is powered by a customized 9015 calibre, modified to mirror the Audemars Piguet Calibre 5134. This Swiss automatic movement ensures accuracy and stability while supporting the perpetual calendar complications. The decorated rotor and bridges visible through the caseback give an authentic glimpse into high-level horology.
