AP Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar ref. 26574

No perfect rep of this model out there, either one with the right moon subdial but wrong sweeping second hands or right hands combination by flanked by a silly smiling sun in the subdial.

Factories can't get their act together so I had to have a go at it.

Firstly get the right base, then off we go with the mods.

The rosegold one on the right is the original state of dial from the factories. The Stainless Steel one is the end result.

Not perfect but as close as we get for this simple classy model.

I like what you did there J.
The “tells” like subdial positions and inaccuracy of details are a result of the factory production flaws and can’t be helped.
Congrats and it’s a job well done!

Is the week hand fixed? How are you able to set it to the next week?
