Hi Jurry,
The AP is every bit as beautiful as the photos in person and the beauty changes constantly as you move your wrist or the light changes...Jim
A good comparison, what’s your pick?...Jim
The Vacheron is $78K the AP is $74,500 ...
Good debate but the week indicator
Is there and as a business man with meetngs scheduled certain weeks the complication is important to me and balances the dial...Jim
Would love to see the AP a bit smaller...
...without the week indicator (same for the Royal Oak PC). But I am being provincial...Americans generally don’t have a use for a week indicator. The VC is beautiful but too large for the beautiful movement. Also, VC’s four-year leap year sub-dial is terr...
Deviate
On this one I must deviate from my normal preference of any VC over any AP But the patrimony is the one BC model that never “spoke” to me. And this blue dual is just, too blue too flat. I could never pinpoint why this patrimony never made my heart beat fa...
Hi Jurry,

I go with the classic VC
The AP is very interesting, modern but the Patrimony is timeless and traditional.
Thanks COUNT
VC is a great brand but I don’t own any, they did not sing to me, however it is wonderful we all have choices. The AP is certainly new and different which for me is exciting...Jim
The AP for me...
The VC is rather bland, and its subdials are a bit crowded to the center. Certainly a more classical piece, though, and some might prefer that look. The AP has an interesting, modern case and a gorgeous dial. Everything seems to fit here. No crowded subdi...
Sorry LX
I don’t know the answer for sure. The watch maker at my Patek AD said “it is very nice finishing”...Jim
Nice but no thanks.
AP too busy for me. I don‘t think this one will age well. VC can do (and does) much better. Not to spoil the pleasure - just my personal taste. Buy what sings to you and wear it with joy. Daniel
The AP, for me. Now… I haven't had them on, and won't in the near future, living, as I do, amid acres of corn.
However, although the Vacheron is quite striking, it's too limiting for this time in my life. The (dare I call it) sportier AP, with its killer "starry night" dial, would suit me much better, and land on my wrist far more often. Two, intoxicatingly beauti...
If I wanted that VC layout..
I'd probably go for a JLC perp. Not apples to apples for sure but still I prefer the AP. It's like having the night sky on your wrist.
