The AP Royal Oak Offshore 26238OR replica (ref. 26238OR.OO.2000OR.01 as listed) is the 42 mm chronograph of the 2021 generation, here in a rose gold-tone case and bezel with a blue dial. The deep blue dial has a fine Tapisserie grid, a lighter blue minute track, luminous baton markers and three rose gold-tone counters; crown and pushers are black, and there is no ceramic bezel. The genuine 2000OR comes on an 18K pink gold bracelet, but this piece ships on the blue rubber strap shown. Our case is steel finished in rose gold tone, where AP uses 18K pink gold.

26238 vs 26470: What Changed in the 42 mm Offshore in 2021?

The 26238 took over from the 26470 in September 2021 without changing the 42 mm diameter. Inside, the genuine swapped the modular Calibre 3126/3840 and its 50 hours for the in-house Calibre 4404 with a column wheel, a flyback function and 70 hours, and the case gained an interchangeable strap system. On our clones the gap is smaller: about 55 hours here against about 48 on a 26470. The closest older relative, the rose gold-tone 26470OR, has a pink gold-toned dial, black counters and Arabic numerals; this 26238OR has a blue dial, gold-tone counters and batons. Choose the 26238 for the current design and the 26470 for big numerals.

Does the 26238OR super clone come on a gold bracelet?

No, it ships on the blue rubber strap you see in the photo; the pink gold bracelet belongs to the genuine 2000OR configuration.

Is the bezel on this rose gold Offshore 26238 fake ceramic?

No. The bezel is rose gold-tone like the case, so only the crown and pushers break the gold with black, unlike the ceramic-bezel 26470SO or 26401RO.
