Handmade vs. Machine

I know that most high-end watches are hand assembled, but I知 not sure just how much of the watch is actually handmade anymore. I知 more familiar with Rolex so I was wondering what portion of AP's are handmade and hand finished?

I would assume that the specialty pieces are more apt to be handmade but I知 mainly concerned with the "vanilla" models that AP offers.
