The amazing replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak collection version made its debut several years ago as the most contemporary version of the company’s signature timepiece. It’s a perfect replica watch that successfully bridges the aesthetics of what made the Royal Oak so popular together with modern appeal.
Off the bat, the Royal Oak model sports a 41mm size case instead of the 39mm diameter of the 15300ST it replaced. Because as most of us know, the cheap replica watch audience has been gravitating towards larger timepieces for a while now.
The stainless steel case is of course home to the iconic eight-sided bezel dotted with eight exposure screws that the watchmaking legend Genta confirmed was encouraged by a vintage diving helmet. The bezel sits on top of the just-as-famous “Grande Tapisserie” dial. But this particular model has a black dial, there are also white and blue options.Â
The textured dial sets the background to the straightforward functions—three center hands and a date window at 3 o’clock. AP aficionados will soon notice the presence of the white gold applied double batons at the top of the dial for 12 o’clock. Although this index style did not exist on the preceding 15300ST, it was present on the inaugural Genta Royal Oak in 1972.
Along with the bezel and dial, another characteristic design trait of the Royal Oak is its bracelet. In typical fashion, the steel bracelet on this Royal Oak 15400ST is integrated into the case. What’s more, there’s the pair of vertical chains that run through the horizontal links that is so distinct. Manufacturing the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak bracelet is a notoriously complex process. As a matter of fact, much of it is by hand. But, it’s undeniable that the finished result is worth it.
Flip the Royal Oak 15400ST around and you’ll catch a glimpse of the movement within via the sapphire caseback. This particular time and date Royal Oak watch is powered by the in-house Caliber 3120. The self-winding movement operates at 21,600 beats per hour (3 Hz) and even without two barrels, provides a generous 60 hours of power reserve.
It’s worth reiterating that this is an in-house movement, completely conceived and built at the replica Audemars Piguet Manufacture. This is not one based on another caliber and then modified. Caliber 3120 was first sketched out in 1998 and the official production began in 2003.Considering the variety of gold, diamond, and more complicated versions of the RO available, this amazing model is as minimalist as the Royal Oak can get. And we have to say that it is one of the best choices!

Comparing review of Royal Oak Vs Royal Oak Offshore replicas
There’s the Royal Oak Offshore diver which is somewhere in between these two, but that’s a story for a future post.The Royal Oak offshore diver is, like I said in the beginning, somewhere between the two. I guess AP needed a luxury diver’s watch collection as well. It’s an Audemars Piguet replica that gains popularity fast, but nowhere near the other two, which among replica watches, are right there, at the top.
Alright then, let’s get to it and see what are the main differences between the three and hopefully, you’ll have an easier time to figure out which one to choose for yourself. As you very well know, these aren’t the only replica watches from AP, there’s the Jules Audemars for example, but really now, how many of you guys have such a replica? Or, how many of you would you choose a Jules Audemars Extra Thin over a Royal Oak if you somehow were forced to have only one watch? You can even Google for something like how to spot a fake Audemars Piguet watch and I bet none of the results will focus on anything else than the RO/ ROO.They do their jobs well and that’s enough for me.
To my own shame, I must admit that I didn’t give too much attention to APs on my blog. Also, I’ll try to focus more on the way these babies look and feel rather than get into too much technical detail. After all, they are replica watches, so don’t expect any of them to have earned the Geneva hallmark or who knows what other posh distinction. The best part about this Audemars Piguet replica is its minimalistic design, which makes it very hard to call out.
Audemars Piguet Replica Review – The Classic Royal Oak
The quality of Royal Oak replicas out there can be sometimes scary good, as even dealers admit. Most Royal Oaks are fitted with automatic movements and the rotor decoration can be incredible. My point is that even if people generally know how to spot a fake Audemars Piguet watches for sale Royal Oak, they’ll have a hard time doing it. I have this leather strap version which I can’t tell you exactly why, but I prefer this to the classic Royal Oak bracelet and an Cheap Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Skeleton replica which is one of the most interesting replica watches in my collection and such fun to review. Unless it’s a Audemars Piguet skeleton replica, which isn’t exactly a carbon copy of the original. That would be impossible.
Now this is my kind of watch! Big, bulky, modern, in your face design. It’s relatively thin case makes it a perfect fit even for formal wear, and it’s available in precious metals as well. I guess it’s easy to see the difference between this and the classic Royal Oak. I’d say the Offshore is a classic Royal Oak with every feature exaggerated, from the octagonal bezel, to the tapisserie dial which turned to the mega-tapisserie, numerals, even the date is magnified, and the bracelet a bit bulkier. Out of the two, this is by far the most elegant and the most versatile. However, it was originally created as a sports luxury watch back in the early 70’s.
We’re going to take a look at two watches in this Audemars Piguet replica watches – the classic Royal Oak Jumbo and the modern Royal Oak Offshore. But the 90’s were all about that and well, that’s when the ROO was design so I guess it’s only natural. I love the ROO, it’s of course a matter of taste, but even Thus, I don’t see myself wearing it a formal event of any kind. While the classic RO is somewhat subtle, the Offshore is exactly the opposite. You’ll get sooo many people staring at your wrist, it’s plain crazy! It’s not, by any means, a dress watch. But it is simply awesome!
