The short answer

The closest alternative to the Blancpain Villeret Grande Date Jour Rétrograde is the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control Calendar Stainless Steel ($17,500) — common cross-shop and Classic dress. If price is the constraint, the Hamilton American Classic Intra-Matic Auto at $1,275 (vs $21,200 for the Villeret Grande Date Jour Rétrograde) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Omnis LUNA is the standout microbrand take — classic dress and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the A. Lange & Söhne Grand Lange 1 Moon Phase ($66,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
