For all those giving AP shade...w/o this manufacture, we may all be wearing nondescript quartz watches around like some dystopian nightmare. The RO not only saved AP from bankruptcy, but may have also fended off the vultures long enough for the entire Swiss watchmaking industry to survive. For that ALONE (and yes, their grande complications) I would place them atop the heap. They deserve to be one of the trinity.
