Trying to identify the timepiece

Some time ago a close friend of mine has shown me a gift timepiece she got more than 10 years ago from her father - watches marked as Audemars Piguet tourbillon. Those seem to be a gold chronograph, however I was unable to find any picture of AP timepiece over the net that would match to what we have in hands.
Writings on the dial: Audemars Piguet,tourbillon, swiss made.
Writings on the back cover: Limited Edition, E11487, Quantieme Perpetuel

Could you guys please guess if this could be a genuine AP timepiece? Photos are below.

Thanks for watching.

The rotor under the glass case back, does not have enough detail... It is not real IMO

Ummm... No. Not a genuine AP. A 15 dollar Thai beach copy.

Sorry to say but based off of the look of that movement it is a replica.

Gold color looks very off too.

That's not a Tourbillon but an exposed balance wheel. It's a fake watch.

Sorry to say, this is not a genuine watch, but a poorly executed counterfeit.

Thanks guys. Sad to know it's a replica but that was more than expectable.
