The AP Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 26420RO super clone (ref. 26420RO.OO.A002CA.01) pairs a 43 mm rose gold-tone case with black everywhere else: the bezel, the Méga Tapisserie dial, the crown, the pushers and the quick-release rubber strap. Rose gold-tone hands, baton markers and AP logo, plus rose gold-tone rims around the silver counters, tie the dial to the case, while red hands on the 30-minute and 12-hour counters and a red-tipped chronograph seconds hand add the sports accent. This replica uses steel under a rose gold-tone finish, where Audemars Piguet uses 18K pink gold for the case and black ceramic for the bezel.

26420RO vs 26401RO: Rose Gold Offshore at 43 or 44 mm?

Before 2021, the rose gold and black ceramic Offshore was the 44 mm 26401RO, whose genuine Calibre 3126/3840 gives around 50 hours. The 26420RO is 1 mm narrower at 43 mm and 14.4 mm thick, switches to the in-house flyback Calibre 4401 with 70 hours and adds a strap you can change without tools. For gold on a bracelet, the 42 mm 26238OR pairs a matching bracelet with a blue dial and the Calibre 4404. Pick the 26401 for the largest case, the 26238OR for an all-metal look, and this AP Royal Oak Offshore 26420 replica for the newest case with a black dial.

Is the 26420RO replica heavier than the steel 26420?

No, it weighs about the same as the steel version, because the case underneath the rose gold tone is steel; only the genuine in 18K pink gold is noticeably heavier.

What colour are the hands on the rose gold Offshore super clone?

The hour and minute hands are rose gold tone with luminous fill, matching the markers and logo, while the counter hands are red and the central chronograph hand has a red tip.

Other 26420 versions in stock: the all-black steel 26420SO, the 26420TI with navy dial and strap, the 26420OI, also rose gold tone, with a grey bezel and dial and the 26420SO with a taupe gradient dial. See the full AP Royal Oak Offshore replica collection.
