How does Parmigiani stack up vs. AP

Hello,

I've been researching watch brands and have seen many posts comparing AP to Patek and Vacheron, as they are considered the "big three".  I am curious about the forums thoughts on where Parmigiani fits in with these brands, specifically with their "entry level" watches.  For example, when considering quality of movement as well as case, finish, etc., how would the following models compare;

Parmigiani Kalpa XL vs. AP Royal Oak vs. VC Overseas.

Parmigiani Kalpa Hebdomadaire or Kalpagraph vs. AP ROO vs. Nautilus

I've had several Jewelers tell me Parmigiani matches up very well with these brands, and that the quality of their movements is outstanding(as well as being in-house).  But I do not hear much about their watches.  I have a small and modest watch collection, and am looking to add what I would consider to be my "heirloom" watch(for my means).  Please share your thoughts...

Thanks, Josh
