Too much money for me.
At the end of the day it has a fucking Miyota inside their guts. Makes no sense to me $1.200
On the AP vs Patek watches themselves is based on your personal taste - we cannot help you with that. I also don't think getting a fully modded AP will cost you anywhere less than that. However, if you pursue the Patek route, you will start seeing people putting the 324 clone movement into their PF cases. If you invest in a PPF now, later you might find yourself the opportunity of investing more and more. To my knowledge there is no AP clone movement, so today you are less likely to turn the AP you buy to something more.
Buying and enjoying the watch ootb, however, is another story. In my opinion the PPF out of the box is great. Again I don't know shit about AP.
