Fake Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 25820ST | $145,000
The perfect replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak may have started life as a simple time and date affair, but it was quick to adopt additional complications, and by the mid ‘80s hosted more complex calendar displays. With the development of the caliber 2120/2800 (the world’s thinnest automatic perpetual calendar when it was launched in 1978), luxury fake Audemars Piguet UK had the perfect movement to place within a QP (or Quantième Perpetuel) Royal Oak. The reference 25820ST houses this caliber, and represents an evolution of the complication within the collection, which began with the 25554ST.
In an effort to clarify the abundance of information presented on the dial, the engraved tapisserie pattern has been removed. Instead, the dial is dominated by four sub dials presenting the day, date, month, leap year indication, and phase of the moon. This best 1:1 replica Audemars Piguet offered by The Keystone for $145,000 dates to the ‘90s, and is listed in good condition.
