Is the APS Factory Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15400ST V3 Version the latest one?

Hello everyone, I am Bokey. Today, I will explain to you again the APS factory V3 version Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15400st. Regarding this watch, many watch enthusiasts are confused about which version is it exactly? V3 or v4 or v2? In fact, the “V” number is just a way for the factory to inform buyers. Basically, after the new version comes out, the old version is basically eliminated and not produced anymore. So except for some merchants who like to stock up and have a small amount of old version inventory during the version transition period, there are almost no old versions on the market. Watch enthusiasts who follow Bokey Moments should know that some time ago, the 15500 of the APS factory secretly upgraded the central axis. The factory did not publicly announce it. Only when we placed an order and received the goods did we know that the manufacturer secretly made an upgrade. So as long as you buy a watch from the APS factory, it must be the latest version. There will be no problem of old versions. Unless the watch you bought is not from the APS factory.

Then let’s talk about some characteristics of the latest version of the APS factory’s 15400st.

First, in terms of appearance, we can see that the pointer of the APS factory’s 15400 has been upgraded to a solid central axis, which is consistent with the genuine product in visual sense.

The second point is that the four corners on the back of the watch case have been upgraded with a new process and anti-fingerprint technology, so it will no longer get dirty. The previous version had the problem of being easily soiled. Now, the APS factory has also solved this problem. After you receive it, you can touch it back and forth with your hand to see if it gets dirty to determine whether it is the latest version.

The third point is the wire drawing process of the watch strap. The wire drawing is straighter, and the vision is more comfortable than the previous version.

The fourth point is in terms of the buckle. The buckle is finely re-ground, and more refined chamfering and polishing are done at the corners.

In terms of styles, in addition to the four steel models of black, white, blue and gray, there is also a rose gold with black dial option. For specific details, you can communicate with Brother Bo to learn more.
