Short answer
A replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 67651 is a copy of a 33 mm quartz watch. The genuine 67651 has a steel or gold case, a diamond bezel, a date window, and a quartz movement. Replica versions copy the outside. Inside, most use a low-cost quartz movement. Quality and parts vary by seller. No public standard exists for replica specs.
Treat the replica as a fashion watch. It is not an Audemars Piguet product. AP does not service it. Water resistance is not guaranteed.
What the genuine 67651 is
Audemars Piguet lists the Royal Oak 67651 as a 33 mm watch. It runs on quartz calibre 2713. It has a date display. The bezel holds diamonds. Common versions use steel or 18k rose gold. The case has a sapphire crystal. Water resistance is 50 m on factory specs.
The 67651 sits in the smaller Royal Oak line. The case is thin for a sports watch. The bracelet has the Royal Oak link shape. The dial has the tapisserie pattern.
What replica sellers offer
Replica listings use reference numbers such as 67651ST and 67651OR. The code does not prove the replica matches the genuine watch. Sellers mix parts. Two units from the same listing can differ.
Common replica parts:
- Case: 316L steel, sometimes gold plating
- Bezel: cubic zirconia or lab stones, not certified diamonds
- Movement: Chinese quartz, sometimes a branded quartz calibre
- Crystal: mineral glass or sapphire, depends on tier
- Bracelet: steel with a folding clasp
Ask for the case metal, stone type, movement name, and crystal type in writing. If the seller cannot name the movement, the listing is weak.
Movement and size
The genuine watch is quartz. That makes a replica easier to build than a mechanical copy. A quartz replica can keep time. The second hand should hit the markers. A loose hand or a loud tick points to a low-grade movement.
Case size should be 33 mm across, not including the crown. Thickness should be near 7 mm. A thick case changes the fit. Ask for caliper photos. A ruler photo next to the watch helps.
Diamond bezel
The genuine 67651 uses diamonds. Replica bezels use other stones. Cubic zirconia is common. Some sellers claim moissanite or lab diamonds. A claim without a test report is not proof. Stone setting quality matters more than the label. Look for even spacing, clean prongs, and no glue.
Price bands
Replica prices for the 67651 run from about $200 to $700. Lower prices buy mineral glass, base quartz, and CZ stones. Higher prices may buy sapphire, a better bracelet, and closer dial print. No public price index exists for replicas. Price does not guarantee quality.
Checks before buying
- Confirm the movement name and type.
- Ask for the case size in mm.
- Ask for the stone type and setting method.
- Request photos of the clasp, caseback, and dial print.
- Ask about water resistance. Do not swim with a replica.
- Check the return policy and payment method.
Limits
A replica 67651 will not match the finish of the genuine watch. Bracelet edges, dial texture, and stone setting show the gap. Resale value is near zero. Service options are limited. The watch is a copy, not an investment.
