How does AP compare to Patek Philippe when it comes to service down the road?
Will Audemars Piguet service a timepiece 50 or 100 years down the road? Are these truly heirloom timepieces? I just read a thread in Rolex regarding the Rolex Service Center's policy of not servicing certain vintage movements and was wondering if AP was similar.
Thanks!

I have confidence that AP will service...
...their watches 50 or 100 years from now. However, nobody can tell you with 100% accuracy that any of these companies, be it Patek, AP, or otherwise will be around 100 years from now. The world is an uncertain place, and nobody has a crystal ball. Howeve...
That's good to know...
as I've just got one..!! It's always a thought in the back of my mind and I'd read somewhere that the only person who can service a Goldfeil is the Vianney himself so what would you do when he retires..? Nice to know AP should be here for a while yet Andy...
AP has and most likely will (I am being conservative here, I have no doubts)
service any watch they have ever produced, in the context of the original post / question. This is the case with any "serious" brand that has any legitimacy - one of the reasons "the big three" are the big three, even though such terms and concepts seem t...
