Why Is AP Better Than Rolex? Here Are 3 Reasons!

For this video, we're gonna discuss three reasons why AP is a better watch than Rolex.
My name's Eric Rivera and everybody knows how much I love and celebrate the brand Audemars Piguet, but for this specific video, I even wore one of my personal Rolex Daytonas, because I wanted to make sure that my opinions weren't that biased or you know, that obvious.
Don't get me wrong guys, I love Rolex. You cannot go wrong with it, but I wanna go over the reasons why AP is the next level beyond Rolex.
Number 1, AP is part of the big three in the watchmaking world, which consists of Audemars Piguet, Vacheron and Patek.
So clearly it's the next level, but it's not just the obvious statement that makes the next level. They just have a whole another take on watchmaking than Rolex. Rolex is more of an industrial, every-day, forward-thinking type of timepiece.
There's no doubt that a Rolex would outlast an AP as far as durability, but in timeless design it could kind of be a little bit more of a toss up. AP just has its own different look and more things that Rolex doesn't offer.
Starting with something perhaps like complications. You can't just get complications or even really anything that complicated at all from Rolex. Rolex boasts their most complicated watch right now is the Sky-Dweller. I mean, guys it's not really that complicated, you know?
It just kind of has a date wheel, second time zone and a month calendar. Big deal. AP just has so much of another level when it comes to haute horology or grand complications to really show off what they're doing.
It's just another in the brand. It kind of goes from regular luxury, which we'd say would be a Rolex. It goes to the next level of ultra luxury.
Guys, you know I love AP, one of my favorite models is the 41 millimeter rose gold with the black dial. Can't go wrong with that. I'm more of a chrono fan over the self winding, both of them are great. But I tend to always swing the bat more towards AP within that battle.
Number 2, the brand AP just resembles more artistic expression. For me it's just a whole another level in design and quality. Again, not saying that they're in any way that Rolex is more inferior, in no way, shape or form like I mentioned earlier.
But it's just a little bit more avant garde. Just a whole another level in fashion and the way that it looks. There's no denying that AP designs are simply just a lot cooler looking in my opinion, you know?
They're just way more, way more forward thinking. I've always felt it's more like an exotic sports car on your wrist, the way it looks with all the sharp lines and the combinations of high polished and satins and stuff like that, that really just are a bit more expressive than a Rolex.
You hear it all the time, people say, “Well, you know it's a Rolex. Everybody has it. Who doesn't have one?” You see them all the time or people express things about Rolex, like saying, “You know, they're just too plain and simple for me!” That's where AP in my opinion just goes to another level. Yes, they got a lot of other models that are not so popular and we're pretty much gonna go ahead and say that the Royal Oak ones are more of the models that we're talking about, but for me it's just so much more futuristic, better looking, funner, and more of an artistic expression in watchmaking, which is just something different, something more to talk about and more of a conversation piece.
Number 3 is when you own an Audemars Piguet, you're just part of a more exclusive clientele. Not just anybody buys an AP, very few buy an AP as their first watch and for whoever has, I salute you cuz you definitely went straight to the AP gang.
When you have an AP, it's something that more of the regular people out there are not even gonna notice what you're wearing and that to me is an advantage.

@KEPLER - 666 The 37mm, 39mm and 41mm Royal Oaks - gold or steel - are solid. Quite robust. Same as any Nautilus or Aquanaut. However, the movements in the older 36mm case models, like the 14xxx references and the Nick Faldo, etc. are VERY delicate. Those movements need service often. And each service is a minimum of $2,000 to $2,500.

Eric, Love your videos. Keep them coming! In this case, both of these brands have excellent heritage. I think most would agree that AP is a more refined and avant gard watch maker, but it's hard to argue with Rolex's durability, wear ability in all situations with timeless design. Most Rolex's have the same characteristics dating back decades and people still love them. I like the Royal Oak, but lets see how it fairs 30 years from now. The most exclusive clientele in the watch collector world is the one who paid over $30 mil on a Rolex. There both great, just go with the one that speaks to you!

fairly recent view you're sharing on AP, it has been made fashionable by Hollywoodsters in let's say the previous decade, no one touched APs in the 90s and early 00s unless they were bored by a DayDate and you could easily buy them with 20% off msrp, the design of the RO is from the same designer as the most popular Patek AP are a p to maintain and far more delicate than Rolex, at least the older models, the higher price and as some say better finishing of the internals (haven't looked inside of one) do not make it a better watch, just a more of a statement compared to fairly ubiquitous Rolex (have several myself, so don't read this is a critique) Thoughts on the Code11:59 ?

"The race is closest between Rolex and AP", 100% accurate. I didn't "get" AP until I got one. Without even trying it, I bought an Offshore Diver, to see what all the fuss was about. Let's just say, I purchased my second AP before I purchased my second Rolex.

Rolex is yesterday's news and too conservative for everyday casual wear . It is more appropriate for suits and the elegant look but AP is definitely unique from a design standpoint and progressive. The NBA is an elite league that only has the best 400 players in the world. That's equivalent to AP whereas everyone (including my old man) has a Rolex. Yeah Rolex is in a different league where Mass Production to survive is their strategy. I don't work in Corporate America anymore so an AP is definitely more stylish and more appealing than a Rolex.

But even tho it still looks good, and its part of life with a watch. Haven’t service it but will probably wait very long with polishing it in oder to keep it’s edgy and sharp shapes. Just opinion. Rolex is nice but personally i dont like the fact that many people have them, the AP does not get recognized, only bu connoisseurs. What do you think about this?

I've heard many times about "complication" and never knew why it is such a big deal. If the watch is accurate and can last, what do I need more complications for? The ultimate complication is my $1,000 Citizen -- titanium case, solar-powered, radio-controlled, alarm function, day-date-Chrono, ... Can you beat that?

@@okihaveaname I know it's for mechanical watches, The point I want to express is that I don't understand the value of more complications for a watch. Why all the bells and whistles if they don't improve anything? For any mechanical things, it's tricky to make the most simple workable solution and it's never good to introduce unnecessary complications or complicity. I guess I just don't get it.

If you just want time then why even bother with an expensive watch? Go for the $10 doraemon or spiderman digital watch. Watches are jewelry. If people are going to spend money, they want to know it has some inherent value other than just telling time. If you just want utility, $10 to $300 covers everything depending on need.

@@gent88ut The reason for this is in the name. Complication. Complicated to make, complex. Adding additional functions to a mechanical watch is extremely difficult. By the time you get all the way up to the top dog complications like a perpetual calendar or minute repeater, the engineering involved is incredible. You get what you pay for.

Well the nicest thing about AP, like Omega is you can always get them, for a discount. Open up Chrono24 and there is like a million different OffShore Chronos, Pimped out, Iced out and all. Heck, you can buy them in 5 different colors faster than you can get 1 Daytona. The only AP I like is the T-3 Offshore but I don't have wrists the size of Arnold, so I probably wouldn't buy one. They intrigue me, but I'll probably finish out my Rolex collection 1st. 3 more watches to go. Then, maybe an AP, but which one?. Certainly, before an Omega although I keep forgetting about the Speedmaster 57, hmmmm.

Rolex deepsea I own as well as Vacheron and IWC. SO here is my take, Vacheron superior finishing in a hand done way, Rolex is more a industrial manufactured product using more machines and IWC is bit of both my IWC is the Big Pilot that I am currently wearing today.

A.P. has the artistic & futuristic approach to their product & along with the complications in movement if thats what you want, 2 diff. concepts to the public with A.P. vs. Rolex. Rolec has really never changed thier design over the last 40 + except refine & add a few new models to their instrument theme (sky dweller,yachtmaster, sea dweller....)A.P. definitely more exsclusive. Great exspose. Thanx P.S.Tx.

How many times in early 2000, did I hear that the Italian brand watch Panerai will be the new Rolex and eventually take over....um, how did that work out....Rolex is like fine wine, only gets better and better. I personally prefer the Vintage 1680, Rolex Mil- subs and the Comex Diver,as well as stainless big red Daytona and when mentioning those, nothing and I mean nothing looks cooler, built better and holds their value, and DONT you ever forget that.

This is right on the mark. It took me three years enjoying my Rolexes (even a Vacheron Oversees) before I got my AP Royal Oak steel Panda. I was afraid it was just "too much" for me--too bold. And let's face it...$27k for a dang steel watch. But damn. It's REALLY grown on me and it's now one of my absolute favorites. When I wear it I definitely feel like it's for me and no one else. Definitely worth the risk, peeps.

The main reason is they are even harder to obtain at retail than a Rolex because they make so little of them. I personally don't like the hex screws on the front so have no interest in owning one. On the other hand how many Rolex mods can possibly have a waiting list, they may not be considered top of the tree horologically but in terms of desirability no one else is even close.

Hello, i disagree that AP is better than Rolex. I own AP and Rolex. My AP broke 2 times, while Rolex is more durable. What does that mean? Rolex is more durable than AP. AP can stop suddenly without good reason. AP still need to work to master their movement.
