I hadn’t seen this reference before in any posts. What I am appreciating more about AP is their expertise with materials to model beautiful pieces. My understanding and experience are limited, but besides AP and Bvlgari, there isn’t another brand that manufactures for example ceramic, titanium, or forged carbon pieces at the same volume. And even in this comparison you may say AP pieces are more impressive with their bracelet included. Note:I am excluding RM from this thought of mine.
