Description
THB Factory Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15416CE Ceramic Skeleton
A specialized approach to open-worked horology and high-tech ceramic case construction.
Powered by Modified Calibre 3132 Clone
To achieve the open-worked aesthetic of the reference 15416, THB utilizes a reliable automatic base caliber heavily modified with custom skeletonized plates and bridges. The mechanism features a prominent rose gold-toned balance bridge at the 8 o��clock position to emulate the visual signature of the genuine double balance wheel. While it lacks the dual hairspring functionality of the authentic AP caliber, the structural depth and perlage finishing on the visible mainplate provide a highly convincing horological display.
卤10��15 seconds per day. Standard regulation for modified automatic base calibers.
- �� Power Reserve: Approximately 36 hours
- �� Complications: Center hours, minutes, and sweeping seconds
- �� Winding Direction: Unidirectional rotor winding
Technical Specifications
Machined to a verified 9.8mm thickness, the case exhibits the correct brushed and polished alternating finishing. The ceramic density yields a substantial 132.8g weight.
Features intricate skeletonized layers revealing the gear train. Rose gold applied indices and hands offer sharp legibility against the dark mechanical void.
The signature octagonal bezel is crafted from matching solid ceramic, secured by perfectly aligned white gold-plated hexagonal screws with polished chamfered edges.
Constructed entirely of ceramic links with precise endplay tolerances, ensuring the integrated bracelet fit drapes correctly. Secured via a titanium-toned AP double deployant clasp.
Why THB Factory for This Reference?
Many collectors ask: ��Why not APSF?��
While APS Factory dominates the standard 15500 and 26240 steel references with their Calibre 4401 clones, THB Factory specializes specifically in the 15416CE��s ceramic machining and open-worked dial layout. Their ceramic density yields a verified 132.8g weight and an impressive 9.8mm case profile, closely mimicking the genuine feel and structural stealth of the authentic ceramic edition.
Full Disclosure: Because it uses a modified base caliber rather than a true custom double balance architecture, the movement lacks the functional dual hairsprings of the genuine Calibre 3132, and the gear train depth is visibly different under close loupe inspection.

Collector Q&A
Q: Is the double balance wheel fully functional on this THB replica?
A: No. The replica utilizes a modified automatic base movement decorated to emulate the AP Calibre 3132. It features a rose gold-toned balance bridge for visual accuracy, but it operates with a standard single balance wheel mechanism rather than functional dual hairsprings.
Q: How does the weight of the THBF 15416CE compare to standard steel models?
A: This THBF solid ceramic model weighs a verified 132.8g. Solid ceramic replicas are inherently lighter than stainless steel or precious metal variants, providing a highly accurate wrist feel comparable to genuine high-tech ceramic pieces.
Q: Are the bracelet links truly ceramic or just PVD coated steel?
A: The case and bracelet links are constructed from solid black ceramic, not coated steel. This ensures extreme scratch resistance and the correct thermal properties, though it means the watch should be protected from hard, blunt impacts to prevent the material from shattering.
Q: What is the most noticeable visual tell on the THB 15416CE?
A: The primary tell lies in the movement depth and gear train layout. Because the factory had to adapt a standard base movement to an open-worked design, the structural depth and specific jewel placements differ from the genuine Calibre 3132 when examined closely under magnification.
