Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 26331ST.OO.1220ST.01 Replica Watch
This is the blue-and-silver 26331 archive, not a generic Royal Oak page. Ten photos show a blue square-grid dial, oversized silver-tone counters, date 23, steel-tone octagonal case and integrated bracelet, crown with two pushers, about 41.0 mm width, about 9.8 mm thickness, 186.3 g and one timing screen. The complete 118.5-second video connects the visible dial, date, side profile, bracelet and clasp, while leaving the caseback, pressure resistance and full chronograph operation to fresh one-unit QC.
MODEL VIDEO
Blue-Dial 26331ST Configuration Video
The full 118.5-second vertical video repeatedly rotates the blue-and-silver three-register dial, date 23, steel-tone bezel and bracelet, crown/pusher side and folding clasp. It helps judge colour shifts, reflections, case profile and bracelet articulation. It does not show the caseback or repeat the calliper, scale and timegrapher checks in one continuous chain.
Reference highlights
What This 26331ST Replica Archive Actually Establishes
A specific blue-and-silver identity
The dial texture, oversized silver counters, date 23 and steel-tone integrated bracelet align visually with 26331ST.OO.1220ST.01 rather than treating every 26331 variant as interchangeable.
Four useful numeric records
The files show about 41.0 mm width, about 9.8 mm thickness, 186.3 g and a one-position timing result of +7 s/d, 324°, 0.1 ms and 28,800 bph.
Important evidence remains absent
No file reveals the caseback, demonstrates full chronograph operation, verifies material or movement, or records a pressure test. Fresh QC should close those gaps.
Six supporting views
Controls, Clasp Construction & Calliper Checks
Crown and two pushers
The control layout is visible, but a full start-stop-reset and counter-progression test is still needed.
Bracelet and clasp exterior
Brushed links and AP-style folding clasp are shown with protective film still attached.
Open clasp construction
The inner blades, release area and branding-style engraving are visible at close range.
Alternate open-clasp view
The second angle helps inspect inside finishing; it does not show the watch caseback.
About 9.8 mm as pictured
Jaw contact and protective film limit precision; repeat a straight thickness check on the final unit.
About 41.0 mm as pictured
The front placement supports the size category but is not a universal measurement guarantee.
Detailed inspection
How to Read All 10 QC Photos Together
Photos 1 and 2 establish the blue/silver dial, date 23 and blue-light response. Photo 3 supplies the 186.3 g reading, and photo 4 records one-position timing. Photo 5 isolates the crown and two pushers. Photos 6–8 move through the exterior and interior of the folding clasp. Photos 9 and 10 show the approximately 9.8 mm and 41.0 mm calliper placements. The sequence is rich, but it never reveals the caseback or a pressure test.
Strongest evidence
Visible reference direction, date, dial/counter colour, bracelet and clasp construction, two calliper readings, one weight and one timing screen.
Still unproven
Actual material, factory, calibre, caseback, complete chronograph function, water resistance and continuity across every separate test.
Best next request
One film-free uncut video tying the same date to caseback, controls, straight dimensions, zeroed weight, multi-position timing and any agreed pressure test.
Audemars Piguet replica watch buyer guide
Royal Oak 26331ST Replica: Blue Dial, Chronograph & QC Guide
Resolve the short 26331 name before comparing listings
The original listing uses ‘26331,’ but the blue Grande Tapisserie-style dial, silver-tone counters and steel-tone integrated bracelet point specifically toward 26331ST.OO.1220ST.01. Using the full reference keeps this blue-and-silver configuration separate from black-dial, silver-dial and pink-gold 26331 variants.
Use the genuine reference as a design map, not a replica specification sheet
Audemars Piguet identifies the genuine 26331ST.OO.1220ST.01 as a selfwinding chronograph with a 41 mm stainless-steel case, blue Grande Tapisserie dial, rhodium-toned counters and steel bracelet. The official 11 mm thickness, 50 m water resistance and calibre 2385 data belong to the genuine watch. They do not verify this sample's material, movement or resistance.
The dial is more specific than the phrase ‘blue Royal Oak’
Read the square-grid texture, silver-tone counters at 3, 6 and 9, applied-looking markers, baton hands, outer track, central chronograph hand and date window near 4:30 as one layout. The stills and video keep date 23 and the same blue/silver direction, although lighting moves the dial between deep navy and brighter blue.
The pictured 41.0 mm width is strong sample evidence
Photo 10 reads about 41.0 mm at the shown front-width placement, aligning directionally with the genuine model's 41 mm category. It remains one setup: crown exclusion, jaw angle and protective film matter. Ask for case width excluding crown, width including controls, lug-to-lug and thickness on the final unit.
The 9.8 mm thickness deserves a second straight measurement
Photo 9 displays about 9.8 mm, but the jaw contact points and film are not precise enough to treat that as a certified case thickness. The official genuine watch is listed at 11 mm; a smaller photographed replica reading is a reason to repeat the measurement, not a reason to claim superior thinness.
Treat 186.3 g as the pictured bracelet setup
Photo 3 shows 186.3 g with film and the current bracelet link count. A full steel-tone integrated bracelet can make weight a major part of wrist feel, yet final sizing will change it. Record wrist circumference, link removal, spare links and clasp security, then repeat the weight after sizing if balance matters.
The timing screen reveals an important movement mismatch
The one-position display reads +7 s/d, 324° amplitude, 0.1 ms beat error and 28,800 bph. Audemars Piguet lists the genuine calibre 2385 at 21,600 vibrations per hour. That difference prevents the screen from proving a genuine-spec calibre. Request a fully wound, multi-position recording and a written movement disclosure for the exact unit.
Two pushers are visible; a complete chronograph test is not
The crown-side photo and video show the upper and lower pushers clearly. They do not continuously connect start, stop and reset actions to central seconds and counter progression. For a Royal Oak chronograph replica, require one uncut close-up that shows every control and confirms whether the hands return cleanly to zero.
The blue-light photo answers only one narrow question
Hands and markers appear illuminated under blue/UV-style light. The file does not disclose charge time, initial dark-room brightness, duration or consistency on another watch. If lume is important, ask for a timed sequence under fixed exposure after a stated charging interval.
The missing caseback and pressure evidence should stay visible
Neither the ten stills nor the 118.5-second video shows the caseback, and no pressure-test result appears. Do not infer a solid or exhibition back, engraved serial, movement finishing, water resistance or gasket condition. Make the rear view and agreed pressure test part of fresh one-unit QC.
Let search terms open a comparison, never close it
Queries such as Audemars Piguet replica watch, AP replica watch, Audemars Piguet Royal Oak replica, Royal Oak chronograph replica, 26331 replica watch, super clone watches and high quality replica watch express buyer intent. They do not prove stainless-steel composition, Swiss origin, factory, calibre or quality. The decision must return to disclosed construction, working functions and fresh evidence.
Choose the nearest alternative by the compromise you prefer
For the same blue steel-tone visual family with a calmer dial, compare the 15500ST.OO.1220ST.01 time-and-date model. To keep a chronograph but move into a darker case and bracelet, open the 26240CE.OO.1225CE.02 comparison. To keep blue while changing to a warm-tone full bracelet and exhibition back, use the 26240OR.OO.1320OR.05 comparison.

Three Royal Oak Models That Answer Different Needs
Use this blue-dial, silver-counter 26331ST chronograph as the baseline. Each recommendation changes a visible design or a functional priority documented on its own product page.
Same blue steel-tone family, less visual clutter
Royal Oak 15500ST.OO.1220ST.01
Choose the 15500ST direction when the blue square-grid dial and full steel-tone bracelet are the attraction, but three counters and two pushers are not. Its cleaner time-and-date layout is easier to read and shifts QC attention away from chronograph operation.
Keep the chronograph, turn the palette dark
Royal Oak 26240CE.OO.1225CE.02
The 26240CE page retains a three-register chronograph direction but replaces blue-and-steel brightness with a black dial and dark case/bracelet appearance. Its sample also introduces an exhibition-back view and its own measurement and timing record.
Keep blue, add warmth and a rear view
Royal Oak 26240OR.OO.1320OR.05
This newer 26240 direction keeps a blue three-register dial but moves to a warm-tone full bracelet and a documented exhibition-back sample. It is the relevant comparison when blue matters more than the cool steel-tone colour of the 26331ST.

Product, QC and order questions
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 26331ST.OO.1220ST.01 Replica Watch FAQ
Which exact 26331 configuration do these photos most closely match?
The blue Grande Tapisserie-style dial, silver-tone oversized counters, steel-tone case and integrated bracelet most closely match the visible direction of Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph reference 26331ST.OO.1220ST.01. The original page used the shorter 26331 name, so confirm the full target reference in the order record.
What do the 41.0 mm and 9.8 mm calliper photos establish?
They record about 41.0 mm at one pictured front-width placement and about 9.8 mm at one pictured thickness placement. Jaw position, protective film and camera angle limit precision, and neither number guarantees another unit. Request straight measurements on the exact sourced watch.
Does the 186.3 g image guarantee the final wearing weight?
No. It shows 186.3 g for the protected bracelet setup pictured. Film, link count, clasp, scale zero and final sizing can change the result. Ask for a zeroed measurement after bracelet sizing if weight matters.
Does the timegrapher photo prove the genuine calibre 2385 is inside?
No. The sample screen shows +7 s/d, 324 degrees, 0.1 ms and 28,800 bph in one position, while Audemars Piguet lists 21,600 vibrations per hour for genuine calibre 2385. The display therefore cannot prove the genuine calibre, factory, origin or long-term accuracy.
Are chronograph operation and water resistance confirmed?
No. The photos and 118.5-second video show two pushers and three counters but no uninterrupted start-stop-reset sequence with register progression. There is also no pressure-test evidence. Request both demonstrations for the exact watch if those functions matter.
What does the complete model video add?
The 1080 by 1920 video runs for 118.5 seconds and repeatedly shows the same blue-and-silver dial, date 23, steel-tone exterior, side profile, bracelet and clasp. It adds movement and reflection context, but it does not show the caseback or reproduce the measurement, weight and timing checks.
Which similar Royal Oak replica models should I compare?
Use the 15500ST.OO.1220ST.01 when you want the blue steel-tone look without chronograph clutter, the 26240CE.OO.1225CE.02 when you want a newer dark chronograph direction, or the 26240OR.OO.1320OR.05 when you want a newer blue chronograph with a warm-tone bracelet and exhibition-back sample.
What should I request before paying the remaining balance?
Confirm the full 26331ST.OO.1220ST.01 target, blue dial and silver counters, disclosed case and bracelet material, factory and batch, movement, clasp, sizing, price and warranty. Then request one film-free continuous record covering date, all controls, straight dimensions, zeroed weight, multi-position timing and any agreed pressure test.
