APS Factory has launched the highest version of the Audemars Piguet 15720ST replica on the market, featuring a brand-new custom integrated Cal. 4308 movement (not a modified Japanese movement). The watch has an overall size of 42×14.2mm, and APS spared no expense in developing this integrated movement, using original mold designs to take the replication to the next level.
On the left is the original 15720ST, and on the right is the APS replica version. At first glance, the two look identical. APS uses imported sapphire crystal, perfectly synchronized with the original in terms of clarity, and the inside of the crystal is coated with a colorless film to improve readability.
The logo and lettering are printed with bold, clear, and raised ink, making them easy to read. Both watches share the same textured background design, and the thickness and size of the text are identical between the APS and the original. The painted Arabic numerals are three-dimensional, and the adjustment of the shadows inside is a meticulous replica of the original, with lifelike detailing.
While many smaller factories often overlook the case back, APS gives it the same attention to detail as the rest of the watch, ensuring the overall authenticity surpasses cheaper replicas. The case back’s engraving layout is spot on, with consistent font size, depth, and placement. The case back curvature matches the original’s specifications, and the balance wheel is located at the 8 o’clock position, unlike the 9015 movement, which is placed at 6 o’clock.
Key Features and Enhancements:
Movement: The custom integrated Cal. 4308 movement is not the typical modified plate movement seen in the market. All gears for the date-jump function are fully functional, not just decorative. The movement is engraved using CNC technology for clearer, more detailed engraving. APS invested heavily in this movement, creating a mold based on the exact data of the original, replicating the automatic winding system of the Cal. 4308 with remarkable accuracy in both appearance and structure.
Case: Using original mold designs, APS dismantled the genuine model and used 3D modeling to ensure the dimensions are precisely the same as the original. All components are interchangeable with the authentic version. The straight-brushed finish and sharp angles of the case are flawlessly integrated.
Hands and Lume: APS perfectly replicates the shape, size, and lume application of the original hands. The lume uses imported C3 Super-LumiNova, which is bright and long-lasting.
Strap: After two years of trial and error, APS has achieved a strap that is indistinguishable from the original in terms of color, material, and craftsmanship. The rubber strap is made from the same fluoro-rubber as the original, with end links embedded inside the strap, allowing for full interchangeability with the genuine article. The buckle also features a quick-release system.
End Links: The end links use a one-button quick-release system, making it easy to remove the strap with one click. The clasp also adopts the same quick-release design, fully compatible with the original.
APS has put its heart and soul into crafting the highest quality replica on the market, ensuring that this Audemars Piguet 15720ST replica provides an experience that closely mirrors the authentic version in terms of looks, feel, and performance.
