When it comes to luxury watches, Audemars Piguet has always set the benchmark, and the APS v2 version of the Royal Oak 26574 series is no exception. This revamped masterpiece features the iconic ‘Grande Tapisserie’ large-checkered dial that harmoniously displays the date, day, month, and moon phase exactly as the original.

The distinct appeal of this version lies in its unique presentation of the astronomical moon phase using a real moon image, offering a clear contrast against the beautifully adorned dial. Boasting a diameter of 41mm, it houses the replicated 5134 integrated automatic winding movement, making it a marvel of precise engineering.

What truly sets this model apart is its remarkable slimness, with a thickness of just 10.5mm compared to the 14mm thickness found in other versions on the market. All functions are genuinely operational, making it not only thinner but also closer to the authentic piece.

In a world where luxury meets performance, the APS v2 is a testament to how advanced watchmaking continues to evolve. If you’re questioning whether this watch is truly a cut above the rest, the answer is a resounding yes!
