Both models of 15400 and 15500 are two best sellers of AP Royal Oak roleplay watches in our market, after the closure of JF, now ZF completely occupies the market share of AP 15400 and 15500, even BP appeared later, but they can not compete with ZF, because their quality is too good.
Before, ZF only makes stainless steel version of 15500, with four dial options of black, white, grey and blue, just one week ago, they published the rose gold version, with two dial color options, black and white. One some websites, they are saying this is the second time for ZF to publish the rose gold version of 15500, actually this is not correct, they did not publish rose gold 15500 before, so this is not V2 edition. In my memory, only OM factory published their V2 edition of 15500.
Royal Oak 15500 is 41mm in case diameter, the case is made with solid 316F stainless steel and has a thick rose gold coating, every watch part you can see on the watch has been rose gold plated, except the screws on the bezel, they are stainless steel and connect the bezel and case back through the middle case. We can not see the inner construction, but there must be rubber gasket between each case part to prevent water penetration. By the way, the case is 11mm in thickness.
Many people buy AP Royal Oak 15400 or 15500 not only because they are famous sports watches, but mainly due to their angular case design, men love such design.
Currently the dial has two color options, black and white. Just like its case and bracelet, the finish of 15500 dial is also completely in a high quality level. The “AP” sculpture at 12 o’clock is especially eye-catching, it is rose gold and exactly echoes with the rose gold tone on case and bracelet.
The roleplay is equipped with a clone 4302 automatic movement, which is based on a Japanese Miyota 9015. I do not want to talk the Miyota 9015 movement today, because I already mentioned it in many of my articles. And from the case back photo, the movement is clearly under your eyes, its auto rotor modification and base plate decoration are totally replication of AP 4302 Calibre. Actually, I hope ZF can manufacture one super clone 4302 movement out in future, if succeed, that will be a killer.
