Fake Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar in Black Ceramic, Ref. 26579CE
There is a lot of perpetual calendar-love throughout this auction, but why shouldn’t it there be? A perpetual calendar is one of the most impressive complications a Swiss replica Audemars Piguet UK can have. So, when it is housed in one of the most iconic case designs in watchmaking history, praise seems like a natural result.
The first 1:1 replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendars date to 1984, but the Reference 26579CE of lot 67 represents an ultra-modern expression of the complication. The black ceramic truly highlights the machinist faceting of the bezel and bracelet while also providing a lightweight and comfortable wearing super clone watch. Surely a contender for the wrist of Batma… We mean Bruce Wayne.
Replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo Ref. 5402ST
Often imitated, never duplicated; lot 32 is the perfect fake Audemars Piguet Royal Oak reference. And while there are several Ref. 5402s in this auction (including a Royal Oak Serial Number 2), this Ref. 5402ST is a full-set, untouched example of a copy watch more often worn and enjoyed than stored away.
Nothing against a modern Audemars Piguet Royal Oak replica for sale, but no bracelet is as buttery-smooth and comfortable as a 5402’s. Plus, along with its original box and papers, lot 32 is still an “A” series from the first production run of the Royal Oak, so it’s bound to be a better value than the earlier serial numbers!
