It’s a matter of preference really. Perhaps you could evaluate better based on how many watches you have, what’s the theme of your current collection and how much do you like each watch and brand.
From personal experience the APs are like work of art. The angles, the brushed and polished surfaces, the patisserie dial, the bracelet, the sapphire crystal showing the movement; everytime I see it in the flesh, I will admire the work that’s been put into the piece. Rolexes in comparison are quite industrial. Not to say they aren’t pretty, just that they look pretty much plaid besides APs.
Rolexes are pretty much recognizable in public, therein lies its appeal. APs in comparison are very much sleepers. Almost no one would notice what you’re wearing except a few. So, depending on your preference, you may want one over the other...
