Within the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak lineup, the chronograph variants hold a distinguished status, merging the iconic octagonal silhouette with intricate mechanical complexity. The reference 26240ST.OO.1320ST.07 stands out with its 41mm steel case, silver Grande Tapisserie dial, and matching sub-dials, delivering a refined monochromatic aesthetic. APS Factory has embraced this model, producing a that captures the essence of the original with remarkable fidelity.
Design Philosophy: Monochromatic Elegance
Unlike the high-contrast panda dials, this 26240ST features a silver dial with silver sub-dials, creating a subtle, sophisticated look. This design lineage traces back to earlier references like 26300ST, evolving through 26320 and 26331, and finally into the 2022 26240ST with the new Cal. 4401 movement. APS replicates this color scheme perfectly, ensuring the dial tone, grid depth, and sub-dial proportions match the genuine article.
Case Construction: Precision in Steel
The case measures 41mm in diameter with a thickness of approximately 12.5mm, striking a balance between presence and wearability. APS employs a brushing-then-polishing technique, creating a stark contrast between the satin-finished surfaces and the high-polished bevels on the bezel and lugs. The octagonal bezel, secured by eight hexagonal screws, features slightly recessed screws—a hallmark of high-end versions. The crown and chronograph pushers are meticulously crafted, with the pushers offering a crisp, tactile response.
Dial Artistry: The Tapestry of Light
The dial is the centerpiece, featuring the Grande Tapisserie pattern with larger, more pronounced squares compared to standard versions. APS uses a high-precision stamping process to achieve a convex, three-dimensional texture, with even grooves and a satisfying tactile feel. The sub-dials at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock share the same silver tone, adorned with concentric circular patterns that add depth. White gold hour markers, with beveled edges and luminous fill, along with the iconic Royal Oak hands, complete the dial's refined appearance.
Movement: The Heart of the Clone
Powering this is a custom Cal. 4401 integrated chronograph movement, designed to replicate the original's functionality. It features a column wheel and vertical clutch, enabling a smooth start-stop-reset operation, including the flyback function—allowing instant reset without stopping first. The date display at 4:30 jumps instantly at midnight, a detail faithfully reproduced. The movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, with a power reserve of approximately 65-70 hours, and the rotor mimics the 22-carat gold appearance with hot-stamped lettering.
Bracelet and Wearability
The integrated steel bracelet flows seamlessly from the case, featuring the classic taper and brushed-and-polished links. The clasp is secure, and the overall weight and feel on the wrist are reminiscent of the genuine model. Whether dressed up or down, this 26240ST offers a premium wearing experience that belies its status.
