Description
APSF Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph 26240 Black Dial
The first true Super Clone to eliminate modular thickness, achieving an authentic 12.1mm profile via the dedicated Calibre 4401 clone.
Powered by APSF Calibre 4401
The APSF Calibre 4401 is a milestone in replica horology, abandoning the compromised Valjoux 7750 base. This integrated chronograph architecture ensures the running seconds and chronograph registers are correctly spaced without requiring transfer gears. The decorated rotor and bridge engravings closely mimic the genuine AP 4401, featuring perlage and c么tes de Gen猫ve finishing for enhanced visual fidelity through the exhibition caseback.
�� Accuracy Profile:
Rated at 卤10��15 s/day. This clone movement is regulated in multiple positions prior to assembly, ensuring reliable daily performance within acceptable horological tolerances.
- �� Power Reserve: Approximately 36 hours
- �� Complications: Fully functional chronograph, running seconds at 6 o��clock, date display
- �� Winding Direction: Unidirectional
Technical Specifications
THE BUILD316L Stainless Steel
41mm diameter with a verified 12.1mm thickness. The alternating polished bevels and vertical brushing on the integrated lug structure demonstrate precise factory tolerances.
THE DIALBlack Grande Tapisserie
The guilloch茅 pattern exhibits accurate depth, while the applied markers are filled with luminous material glowing green under UV. Sub-dials feature accurate concentric snailing.
THE BEZELVertical Brushed Steel
Iconic octagonal profile with vertical brushing and polished chamfers. The eight hexagonal screws are perfectly aligned and recessed to the correct depth.
THE BRACELETIntegrated Steel Bracelet
Features the signature AP double folding clasp. Link flexibility and end-piece articulation closely mirror genuine tolerances, preventing stiff articulation.
Why APSF for This Reference?
Many collectors ask: ��Why not ZF?��
For the 26240, APSF holds a distinct advantage in movement architecture and case geometry. ZF��s earlier iterations often relied on modified movements that inflated case thickness or compromised sub-dial spacing. APSF��s dedicated 4401 clone allows for the verified 12.1mm thickness, making it the definitive choice for structural accuracy.
Full Disclosure: The date wheel typography can occasionally appear marginally thicker than the genuine AP font under loupe inspection.

Collector Q&A
Q: Does the chronograph function correctly like the genuine 26240?
A: Yes, the APSF Calibre 4401 features a fully functional integrated chronograph. The sub-dials operate correctly with running seconds at 6 o��clock, chronograph minutes at 9 o��clock, and hours at 3 o��clock.
Q: How does the 12.1mm thickness compare to older Royal Oak replica chronographs?
A: Older replicas using modified Valjoux 7750 movements were notoriously thick, often exceeding 14mm. The APSF 4401 clone movement allows this model to achieve the verified 12.1mm profile, aligning seamlessly with genuine dimensions.
Q: Are the integrated bracelet links interchangeable with genuine AP links?
A: While the APSF bracelet dimensions and alternating finishes are highly accurate, the internal pin and sleeve tolerances may vary slightly. We do not recommend attempting to mix replica and genuine links.
Q: What is the most noticeable visual flaw on the APSF 26240?
A: Under macro inspection, the date wheel typography is marginally thicker than the genuine AP font. Additionally, the white gold plating on the dial screws lacks the exact metallic luster of the authentic piece.
