When it comes to luxury timepieces, Audemars Piguet consistently sets the standard. Their latest masterpiece, the APS v2 version of the Royal Oak 26574, is no exception. With its ‘Grande Tapisserie’ pattern dial showcasing date, day, month, and moon phases, this watch is not only a marvel of design but also of precision.

One of the standout features is the astronomical accuracy of its moon phase display, using true lunar images for a striking contrast. Unlike the standard version where the sub-dials are closely packed, the APS v2 maintains the original layout, making it not just a replica but a sophisticated homage.

What sets this version apart is its 41mm diameter and the ultra-thin 10.5mm thickness, thanks to the integrated 5134 automatic movement. This is significantly slimmer than the typical 14mm thickness of market versions, offering wearers a more authentic Royal Oak experience.

In essence, the APS v2 is not merely a watch; it’s a statement. With all functions genuinely operational, it’s the perfect blend of form and function. Whether you’re a collector or a first-time buyer, this watch more than delivers on every front.
