The short answer

The closest alternative to the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph 38mm is the IWC Schaffhausen Iw328901 Ingenieur Automatic ($12,900) — integrated bracelet sport and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Omega Speedmaster 38 Co Axial Chronometer Chronograph 38mm at $5,900 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Specht & Sohne Specht & Söhne SP0022 Automatic is the standout microbrand take — integrated bracelet sport and Looks nearly identical.
