Review Replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar 26574 from BBR Factory

The Audemars Piguet Perpetual Calendar 26574 watch is a complex timepiece with numerous functionalities. In the market, there aren’t many replica watch manufacturers for this particular model. Let’s review the newly launched Replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar 26574 watch from the BBR factory.

Previously, only the APS factory produced this line of replica watches, with very good quality. However, it had a clear weakness in the central hand with an arrowhead. On the genuine watch, this hand indicates the current week number in a year, but on the APS-manufactured replica, it functions as a second hand, sweeping across the dial. This time, the BBR factory has rectified this issue and provided all the correct functionalities. I know some people really like this replica watch, but is it worth buying from BBR immediately? I don’t think so.

The AP Royal Oak 26574 is a highly complex watch, and even genuine watches have a high repair rate due to the intricate movement. Therefore, one cannot expect the newly released replica from the BBR factory to perform flawlessly without any issues.

In simple terms, the replica watch needs to be tested. If there are few complaints about it, then it might be the right time to acquire one. Currently, I still recommend choosing the replica from the APS factory, even though it has one major weakness in that hand.

I’ve watched several video reviews of this new replica watch. One or two sellers mentioned that BBR’s quality control on the replica isn’t good, there are some minor issues, and to achieve all the functions on the replica, more modifications should have been done on the movement, which means less stability and more issues might arise in the movement in the future. Even though the APS factory made a mistake with that hand, the functions and movement have already been tested for stability.

Both the BBR and APS factories use the Miyota 9015 movement as the base for the replica watch. The BBR watch measures 11.5mm in thickness, while the APS replica watch is only 10.5mm thick, closer to the thickness of the genuine watch.

Functions such as time, date, month, week, and moon phase can be easily adjusted. Pull out the crown to the second position to adjust the central “week” hand; pull it out to the last position and rotate the crown to adjust the time. When the hour hand moves a certain number of rounds, the moon phase indicator, small date hand, and small week hand will also move accordingly.

There are buttons on the case for quick adjustments to the corresponding functions, but avoid pressing them too frequently. Also, perform adjustments on the replica between 6 am and 2 pm.

The newly launched Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar 26574 version from the BBR factory offers a variety of dial colors to choose from. Check out the images below for more details.
