Ordinarily, I don't like to say definitively just from a few photos.
A watch really needs to be handled in person and inspected, maybe even opened in some case to confirm the movement. But in this case, I find numerous issues, and I have a real one to compare to, so it is easy to say. I am not going to list the problems, but this is not a genuine AP product.
Is this Audemars Piguet real? Need help thanks.
Picture was send by seller. Supposedly its the Ruben Barrichello II titanium ...

Looks fake to me! The dial isn’t right!
If you want to be sure you will need to open it. But I’m sure its a fake. Best of luck, Laurent
Is this a real Nautilus???
Sorry. Had to do it. I've never seen a watch manhandled that way ...
LOL. A tell tale sign. A seller of a real piece would be happy to properly showcase it.
I know why he is holding it like that.
100% fake STAY AWAY !!!
I own an RB2 Titanium - this is not even a good fake. Everything Wrong: Dial (you don't see the screws at 7:30 - 1:30 ; No central gear visible ; No Geneva Strips visible on Base Plate front ; date sits to high in case) Backside: the screws are wrong - Ad...
