In the early days of Audemars Piguet (AP) replica‑watch production, competition was mainly between N‑Factory and JF‑Factory, with only a handful of smaller manufacturers involved. AP watches feature a relatively complicated structure. Take the Royal Oak series for example. Its case consists of three layers, each fitted with gaskets and secured by upper‑and‑lower screws. This places extremely high precision requirements on moulds; poorly‑finished moulds are the most common cause of water intrusion. Moreover, the total number of parts is twice that of most other watches, leading to higher production costs. For this reason, less‑capable factories were unwilling to invest in AP replica projects.
N‑Factory was the very first manufacturer to produce AP replicas. The model 15703, known as one of the “Five Legendary Replicas”, was once one of our top‑recommended items. Long‑time replica‑watch collectors will certainly be familiar with N‑Factory’s AP lineup. Later, JF‑Factory entered the AP market and launched a large catalogue of models in quick succession. Gradually, N‑Factory cleared out all its AP stock. Today, JF‑Factory stands as the dominant supplier for AP replicas. JF‑Factory offers an extensive, almost overwhelming selection of models; generally speaking, nearly every new release from the official brand is matched with a counterpart from JF‑Factory. Below are a few representative models for your reference:
AP15400 Series, full range of colours available
The powerful Super “V5” upgraded edition of AP15400 has arrived. It features a diameter of 41 mm and is equipped with an imported 9015 movement modified to replicate the original Cal. 3120 automatic‑winding movement. The key upgraded technical features of the Super “V5” version are listed below:
1. The embossed lettering on both inner sides of the clasp has been revised to match the genuine piece, complete with fine brushed grain on the font itself (a core improvement).
2. The inner‑clasp colour matches that of the original watch, while the outer logo on the clasp is sharper and more three‑dimensional.
3. The logo placement and brushed texture on the crown have been corrected to align with the genuine product, delivering a further‑improved tactile feel.

Since JF‑Factory’s AP watches are priced at a higher level, the cost may exceed the budget of some first‑time buyers. There are smaller and low‑cost manufacturers on the market offering alternative AP replicas. For instance, BF‑Factory’s AP models cost roughly half the price of their JF‑Factory counterparts. Some dishonest sellers even swap JF‑Factory labels onto BF‑Factory watches and pass them off as genuine JF products, which frequently tricks many customers. So how is the quality of BF‑Factory AP replicas? The dial finish is generally rough, and the case edges can feel sharp against the skin. Nevertheless, being nearly half the price, they are still fairly appealing to budget‑oriented buyers. BF‑Factory does not produce its AP replicas using molds based on the original watch; the inner‑case structure has been simplified and does not match the genuine design. Budget‑conscious shoppers may still consider this option. For most of our customers, we generally recommend the full AP range manufactured by JF‑Factory. Always choose a trustworthy retailer when purchasing high‑quality factory‑made replicas.
