I don't buy into "superlative" as suggesting "better than" any other brand. Superlative (for Rolex) is just a little hype to sell a brand maybe? Hey, they are proud of their movement. I'm sure the Patek Philippe people may have something to say about what superlative means to them :).
We're almost there. All chronometers are essentially equal-they all pass the test. Why does Rolex say their chronometers are 'superlative' to others, when the results are pass/fail?

For PP, the Geneva Seal used to guarantee chronometer performance. I don't know if their own certification does the same.
