Description
APS Factory Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph 26240 50th Anniversary
The APS 26240 establishes a new structural benchmark by resolving the historical thickness and sub-dial spacing issues inherent to 7750-based AP replicas.
Powered by the Super Clone 4401
The introduction of the clone Calibre 4401 marks a departure from modular chronograph replication. This integrated movement features a working vertical clutch and column wheel, mirroring the mechanical logic of the genuine Audemars Piguet caliber. The architecture allows for the correct 4:30 date window placement and precise sub-dial spacing, details that are meticulously verified through . The flyback mechanism is fully operational, permitting the sweep hand to be reset to zero without halting the chronograph engagement.
�� Accuracy Profile:
The APS 4401 clone is factory-regulated to perform within 卤10��15 seconds per day. Positional variance is standard for this tier of complex clone movement.
- �� Power Reserve: Approximately 36 hours
- �� Complications: Flyback Chronograph, Date Display, Small Seconds
- �� Winding Direction: Bidirectional automatic winding
Technical Specifications
THE BUILD316L Stainless Steel Case
Measuring exactly 41mm in diameter and 12.4mm thick, the case proportions are 1:1 with the genuine. It features the correct brushed/polished alternating finishing along the chamfers.
THE DIALPlum Purple Grande Tapisserie
The dial features crisp guilloch茅 squares in a deep plum hue. Lume application on the white gold-plated applied markers is consistent, though the lacquer tone shifts slightly under direct sunlight.
THE BEZELOctagonal Brushed Steel
The iconic eight-sided bezel showcases heavy vertical brushing. The recessed, highly polished hexagonal screws sit perfectly flush with the steel surface.
THE BRACELETIntegrated Steel & Double Deployant
The integrated bracelet fit is exceptionally tight at the lugs. The link flexibility is fluid, terminating in an AP-signed double deployant clasp with minimal lateral play.
Why APS Factory for This Reference?
Many collectors ask: ��Why not ZF?��
Historically, ZF dominated the Royal Oak market, but their chronograph models relied on modified 7750 movements. This necessitated a thicker case profile (often exceeding 14mm) and resulted in sunken date wheels. The APS custom 4401 clone eliminates these structural compromises, achieving the genuine 12.4mm thickness and pushing the date display to the extreme edge of the dial.
Full Disclosure: The APS 4401 rotor bearing exhibits noticeable winding noise in quiet environments, and the flyback mechanism, while functional, adds significant wear to the clone vertical clutch if overused.

Collector Q&A
Q: Does the flyback function on the APS 4401 work exactly like the genuine?
A: Yes, the APS clone 4401 features a fully functional flyback mechanism. This allows you to press the lower pusher to instantly reset the chronograph sweep hand to zero without needing to stop it first, utilizing a true column wheel and vertical clutch architecture.
Q: How accurate is the plum purple dial color compared to the genuine AP boutique edition?
A: The APS Grande Tapisserie pattern is highly accurate in its geometric spacing and depth. However, the purple lacquer formulation is marginally darker under low-light conditions compared to the genuine piece, which exhibits slightly more vibrancy.
Q: Is the case thickness exactly 12.4mm on this replica?
A: Yes. Unlike earlier replicas that relied on modified 7750 movements resulting in 14mm+ cases, the APS integrated 4401 clone allows the case to be machined to the exact 12.4mm specification of the genuine 26240 reference.
Q: Are there any known technical quirks with the APS 4401 movement?
A: The most common quirk noted by collectors is noticeable rotor noise during aggressive wrist movement due to the bearing design. Additionally, while the chronograph is fully functional, frequent use of the flyback complication will significantly reduce the power reserve and increase mechanical wear on the clone vertical clutch.
