Description
A Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore clone — reference 26518OR.OO.1220OR.01, 41mm case, in stainless steel. On the wrist it tracks the reference it copies — the case silhouette, the dial furniture and the taper of the bracelet all follow the genuine watch. This is a clone, and it is described as one — no other claim is made about it.
It runs on a self-winding calibre, so the seconds hand glides instead of ticking and the watch keeps itself wound from the motion of your wrist. The steel case is worked by hand — brushed faces keep their grain and the polished edges stay sharp. The crystal is anti-reflective sapphire, and the case is rated to 50 metres — enough for everyday wear.
Sized for a man's wrist. The 41mm case carries the same proportions on the wrist as the model it follows. Nothing leaves without a check: we inspect and photograph the exact unit first, so the piece in the QC images is the piece that reaches you.

Frequently Asked Questions
The dial features a large aperture at 6 o'clock that frames the tourbillon cage. The aperture allows unobstructed view of the rotating mechanism. The 41mm case size ensures the tourbillon is large enough to see clearly without magnification.
The cage is typically brass or a nickel-silver alloy, finished with polishing or bluing to match the movement aesthetic. The exact composition varies between clone makers. The cage rotates on a central pivot and completes one full rotation every four minutes.
The caseback is sealed with a special wrench and screwdriver. Opening it yourself risks damaging the gasket and losing water resistance. If you need to service the movement, consult a qualified watchmaker with access to proper tools.
A tourbillon requires extra machining to create the rotating cage and its mounting. The cage must be dynamically balanced so it rotates smoothly. The movement must be more precisely finished to minimize friction. These factors increase manufacturing cost and complexity.

Reference 26518OR.OO.1220OR.01: the original
Reference 26518OR.OO.1220OR.01 designates a Royal Oak Offshore fitted with a mechanical tourbillon—a rotating cage that houses the hairspring and balance wheel, completing one full rotation every four minutes. At 41mm in stainless steel, this reference combines the Offshore's commanding presence with horological complexity rarely seen in sports watches. The tourbillon is visible both through the dial aperture and via the transparent caseback, making it a focal point of the design.

Compare within the family
The 26480TI.OO.A027CA.01 omits the tourbillon and uses simpler dial layout. The 25940SK.00.D002CA.02 also foregoes the tourbillon but offers different material options. This 26518OR is the only reference in the 41mm tier to feature the visible rotating mechanism.
