Are AP and Rolex the same?
1 Answer
No, AP and Rolex are not the same. Hans Wilsdorf and his brother-in-law Alfred Davis established Rolex in 1905. Initially, their enterprise was called Wilsdorf & Davis, but they adopted the name Rolex in 1920. Jules Louis Audemars and Edward Auguste Piguet founded Audemars Piguet in Switzerland in 1875.
