My humble .02 cents....
Patek is #1 Vacheron and AP are both #2.
I think I would give AP and VC the edge over Patek when it comes to daily wear sportier watches though.
I own a late 50's/early 60's AP Manual Ultra Thin Skeleton which my father passed on to me a few years ago.
My fiancee is in the process of buying me a AP RO Chrono as a wedding present.
I am slowly saving for an AP ROO (one particular LE)
After those I plan on getting a VC Overseas Date someday down the road.
The RO and Overseas are both great watches you just need to see which you like more in size (the Overseas is 2 mm bigger), Dial (colors vary and so does the pattern), Bezel, Water Resistance (VC seems to have some more room than the RO here) and also Date location varies with the two.
Also VC does not currently offer an Overseas Perp Cal so if you want the perp cal you will have to go AP.
Myself if I was going for a Perp Cal I would be looking at something more elegant and dressy versus metal and sporty
