Sources
Current AP specifications are cross-checked against Audemars Piguet product pages or AP Chronicles where possible. Historical limited-edition details may also use the original archived article when the configuration is specific and internally consistent.
Replica claims
Terms such as Swiss, Japanese, clone, AAA and 1:1 are treated as marketing labels until tied to an exact movement, material or measurable feature. Genuine water-resistance and movement specifications are never automatically assigned to a copy.
Commercial links
Links that lead to a retailer are marked sponsored and nofollow. Editorial pages are not ranked or written around which merchant pays more; the inspection method is intended to remain useful regardless of seller.
