APS Factory released four models of the Audemars Piguet Code 15210 replica, each differing in dial color—black, blue, and white. Today, I will review the rose gold version with a white dial.
APS Factory has been one of the most influential manufacturers in 2024, delivering several impressive releases. Notable examples include the best clone of the AP 15407 and the best Day-Date from THB, a brand owned by APS. Alongside APS, VS Factory has also introduced many new models this year, making them the two biggest contributors in the industry for 2024.
When it comes to super clone Audemars Piguet watches, I usually recommend the AP 15400 and 15500, as both the ZF and APS versions are well-made. However, APS has made several improvements, especially on the 15400, making it my top recommendation. As for the 15407 Skeleton, there is no other factory producing a version as good as APS.
Movement and Quality Analysis
The AP 15210 is powered by the super clone 4302 movement, which was originally developed by APS for the AP 15500. In this model, they have only changed the auto rotor before installing it in the 15210. However, I noticed that the golden color of the rotor is slightly different from the genuine watch, which is a noticeable defect in this latest release.
For first versions of APS Factory’s new releases, minor issues often exist. For example:
- On the Jaeger-LeCoultre Ultra Thin Moon Phase, the engraving on the movement plate is too shallow.
- On the Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve, certain models have incorrect dial colors.
- On this AP 15210, the gold rotor color is inaccurate.
APS has yet to fix the issues with the Jaeger-LeCoultre Moon Phase and Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve, but they acted quickly with the AP 15407 Skeleton, correcting the second-hand issue by releasing a V2 edition.
Design and Specifications
Among the new AP 15210 models, the rose gold version stands out the most. The crystal has a unique shape, different from the common dome-shaped crystals found on other watches. The images provided highlight every detail, but here are some key specifications:
- Case Diameter: 41mm (43mm including the crown)
- Case Thickness: 10.9mm
- Weight: 79.5 grams
- Strap: Brown calfskin leather with crocodile prints (option to upgrade to genuine alligator leather)
The case and buckle feature precious metal markings, and the movement remains stable with the same adjustment functionality as the genuine watch. The brown leather strap complements the rose gold case perfectly, though buyers have the option to order a genuine alligator leather strap from the market.
