An Insider's Guide to Audemars Piguet Super Clones
Audemars Piguet shattered the rules of watchmaking in 1972 with the Royal Oak, creating the luxury sports watch category. Owning an AP is a statement of bold, uncompromising style. For those who appreciate this revolutionary design, our Super Clone collection is the definitive way to experience it.
The Legend: Why the Royal Oak Reigns Supreme
The Royal Oak is more than a watch; it's a piece of design history. Its exposed bezel screws and integrated bracelet were shocking upon release and remain iconic today. When searching for an "AP replica," most are seeking this legendary model. A true Super Clone must perfect the sharp angles and the flawless finish of the case and bracelet—a feat only top-tier factories can achieve.
Choosing Your Style: Royal Oak vs. Offshore
While the classic Royal Oak is the icon of understated power, the Royal Oak Offshore is its bigger, bolder, and more aggressive sibling. Designed for a more extreme sporting life, the Offshore offers a more substantial presence on the wrist with features like rubber straps and prominent chronograph pushers. Your choice between them defines your personal style.
The Details That Define a 1:1 AP Super Clone
An Audemars Piguet clone's quality is judged by its details. Here’s what sets a true Super Clone apart:
The Bezel and Screws: The eight hexagonal screws on the bezel must be perfectly aligned and recessed, a detail cheap fakes always get wrong.
The "Tapisserie" Dial: The intricate, waffle-like pattern on the dial must be sharp and precise, reflecting light just like the original.
The Bracelet Finishing: The seamless integration and the sharp transition between brushed and polished surfaces on the bracelet are hallmarks of a high-quality replica.
Movement Accuracy: Our clones feature replicated Swiss movements that are not only reliable but also beautifully decorated to be admired through the sapphire caseback.
