It sounds a little old-fashioned now; many people would just say “excellent” or “in great shape,” but you still meet it in stories, in ads that want a solid “top quality” feel, and in the set phrase “A-1 condition.” It comes from an old rating used by Lloyd’s of London for ships they insured: A1 was the top mark, meaning the ship was in the best class. From there, people started using A-1 for anything first-rate.
