Super Clone Watch

Original price was: $1,200.00.Current price is: $950.00.

For the collector who wants the black ceramic Royal Oak calendar done convincingly, this APSF 26579CE is the one to focus on. The deciding details are the sharp brushed and polished ceramic finishing, the integrated ceramic bracelet, and the true moon phase at 6 o’clock backed by a functional calendar layout. Against earlier ceramic executions that often felt stiff or visually flat, this one stands out for bracelet articulation and dial depth. The detailed description matters here because this reference is all about execution, not headline specs alone.

Black ceramic that lives on contrast, not color

The first thing that makes this 26579CE convincing is how the black ceramic is finished. On the wrist, this reference depends on the contrast between the vertically brushed surfaces and the polished bevels around the octagonal bezel and case. That interplay is exactly what gives a ceramic Royal Oak its edge, because a flat black finish can make the watch look heavy and mute. Here, the case architecture stays crisp, the bezel keeps the familiar eight-screw layout, and the integrated bracelet carries the same alternating surface treatment through the links rather than treating the bracelet as an afterthought.

That is also where the APSF version earns its place. Ceramic Royal Oak models have exposed weaknesses quickly when the finishing is off or the bracelet articulation is too rigid. This execution is worth choosing because the case finishing and bracelet fit are the areas that most affect how believable and satisfying the watch feels in daily wear.

The 41mm profile keeps the watch in proportion

This model is built as a 41mm case with an 11.2mm thickness, which is important because the appeal of the perpetual-calendar Royal Oak is not just complexity on the dial, but how much information is contained within a case that still keeps the familiar slim Royal Oak stance. If you are comparing options, that proportion matters more than a broad claim about being a complicated sports watch. It keeps the watch visually balanced instead of turning into a bulky showcase piece.

The integrated black ceramic bracelet continues that balanced approach. The links are shaped to flow directly out of the case, and the bracelet closes with a titanium double deployant clasp. For a buyer considering ceramic specifically, that matters because the bracelet is a major part of the watch’s identity, not simply a way to attach the case to the wrist.

A dial layout that rewards close inspection

The dial is a black Grande Tapisserie pattern with a properly busy perpetual-calendar layout. You get day and month indication across the upper half of the dial, the date subdial to the right, the week scale around the outer track, and the moon phase at 6 o’clock. The applied hour markers and hands stand out clearly against the textured black surface, which helps the watch avoid the common problem of looking muddy once everything turns dark.

The moon phase is the visual anchor. Set against the dense grid texture and circular subdial rings, it breaks up the monochrome dial with a deep blue night-sky display that gives the watch a focal point from across the room. This is not a minimal Royal Oak; it is for someone who wants information, texture, and geometry all working at once.

Why the movement choice matters on this reference

Inside is the clone AP Caliber 5134 automatic movement with approximately 36 hours of power reserve. More importantly for this specific watch, it supports a true moon phase at 6 o’clock along with functional day, date, month, and week indications. That is the real distinction here. Earlier approaches to watches in this style often relied on decorative or partially simplified displays, which undermines the whole point of choosing a perpetual-calendar look in the first place.

The movement is visible through the sapphire caseback, where the decorated rotor can be seen in operation. There is also a practical point worth knowing: the recessed calendar adjustment pushers on the case flank require a firmer press than the original design. For an experienced buyer, that is useful context because it speaks to the ownership experience, not just the headline complication count.

Who this watch makes sense for

This black ceramic 26579CE is best for the buyer who already understands why ceramic Royal Oak models are different from steel ones. You are choosing it for the stealth look, the sharp transitions between brushed and polished surfaces, the integrated bracelet architecture, and the dense perpetual-calendar dial that still stays legible. If your interest is mainly in a simple three-hand Royal Oak, this is probably too involved. If you want the dramatic side of the Royal Oak concept, this is exactly where the reference becomes interesting.

It is a high-complication sports watch with a very specific personality: dark, technical, angular, and visually packed without losing the signature Royal Oak profile.
