Lloyds of London, the great insurers, rated ships they insured according to condition of both the hull and the superstructure, using the alphanumeric system. A-1 means having the best hull and the best superstructure. By extension, it means "top drawer" or simply "very good."

Back when telephone directories like the Yellow Pages dominated all business-related searching, companies would call themselves 'A-1' in order to get listed at the top of the alphabetically ordered categories.
