The short answer

The closest alternative to the Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Ultra-Complication Universelle (RD#4) 42mm is the A. Lange & Söhne Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon Honeygold Lumen — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Hamilton Jazzmaster Auto Chrono at $2,095 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Kobold Phantom SL 18K Rose Gold is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical.
