Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Chronograph 41mmvsManufaktur Waldhoff Ultramatic

Owners widely praise the Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Chronograph 41mm's high-level finishing and the unique double-curved crystal. Some collectors prefer the 41mm tourbillon models for showcasing the tourbillon. Legibility can be a challenge due to blue hands on an open dial, and the hands could be slightly longer, though the flange ring offers minute and hour markers. The 41mm 18k white gold case is well-finished with brushed surfaces and polished angles. One owner finds the design generic and boring, questioning its value. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Chronograph 41mm well for its finishing and unique aesthetic, despite some reservations about legibility and value.

Owners widely praise the Manufaktur Waldhoff Ultramatic's visual appeal and the Peacock 5211 manual-wind movement, which is reported to look and run well, keeping good time. However, some owners criticize the excessive dial text and the bracelet's fit. The value proposition is considered questionable by some, particularly when compared to more affordable alternatives with similar Chinese movements. On balance, owners rate the Manufaktur Waldhoff Ultramatic positively for its attractive design and reliable movement, though dial text and bracelet fit are points of contention.
