No, he wouldn't. A Bridgeman apparatus is merely a way of getting a large single crystal. if you took the same material and did X-ray powder diffraction on it, you'd find the small crystals had the same structure as the large one.
And don't exaggerate. A Bridgeman apparatus is elegant, but not complicated. I've seen a college undergraduate build one.
I'm not exaggerating, which you would know if you had studied any of his work.
And there is a considerable difference between a large single crystal -- which is what people think of when they think "crystal", and a conglomeration of growth faces each only a few atoms thick.
