Maybe I'm from the younger generation here... but why not consider a PM Rolex versus a steel AP? Way better return on value IMO. I'm also told the AP bracelets are scratch magnets, so the PM Rolex, oddly enough, might hold up better to daily wear (cannot confirm myself, as I have never owned an AP).
Personally Lange will always win out for me over AP or Patek if you want a truly artisanal watch, both in terms of attractive design and in value. A Lange 1 is used is probably not much more than a steel AP.
