The short answer

The closest alternative to the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph 38mm is the Hublot Big Bang Unico Magic ($30,000) — integrated bracelet sport and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph at $7,150 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Makydo Seagrass is the standout microbrand take — integrated bracelet sport and Looks nearly identical.
