Owning 2 Rolexes and one AP 15400, the Rolexes are excellent watches, but the AP is at a higher level of finishing, especially the amazing bracelet.

While prices are certainly higher, AP does tend to offer a much more substantial discount than Rolex.

I don't know about that. 20% is pretty much the on the top end of the scale of discounts for most AP models. Other than some of their SS models, Rolex seems to have about the same level of discount. Have you seen otherwise?

That photo looks like the window display from the GF AD in London They also are one of the largest AP ADs in the UK IIRC The owner gets his hand on some some really special AP and GF pieces!

OP. Did you see the difference of finishing between Rolex and AP? I had both, for me Rolex is a good middle end watch brand, AP is a high end brand, you can't compare them, just look at a Rolex movement and an AP movement, 2 different worlds... |

I was into Rolex for decades. Then I bought two APs (and almost bought a Patek). Had them for a year before coming home to Rolex and going PM. Couldn't be happier.

The question is why Rolex is so expensive. Back when the Royal Oak was released I believe it was like thirteen times more expensive than the Submariner, look at the price difference now.

This is a very subjective argument. Rolex are super reliable and built like tanks personally when spending 25k on a precious metal Rolex I think some would want the attention

Why does it seem that Audmars Piguet are more expensive than Rolex?
Absolutely is! And VC's are growing on me too!

I agree it is a beautiful dressy sports watch but it is not a step up from the RO. The comment was more on people saying they "move up" from AP to Patrk. If considering the entire RO vs nautilus lines the RO of MUCH more complex. AP is killing it with the addition of the perpetual calendar, skeleton, tourbillions, grande comps, etc. Patek has the 5990 chrono/travel time, an annual calendar....
AP also has the ROO line that is more sporty than anything Patek has. They compare much better to RM with their higher end complications and both movements are made by APRP anyway. I really hope Patek does somethings outside the box for the 40th anniversary of the nautilus. A 42mm version, a skeleton, perpetual calendar, etc. I love Patek as a brand but I want a sports watch from them that I'll love wearing. At this point I would rather save for a complicated AP. I also prefer Patek over AP in the dress watch market but I have no need for a dress watch. |
