The short answer

The closest alternative to the Cartier Santos-Dumont skeleton watch equipped with a micro-rotor is the Tudor Clair de Rose 30mm — looks nearly identical and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Blancpain Villeret Women Date at $12,200 (vs $34,100 for the Santos-Dumont skeleton watch equipped with a micro-rotor) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Seagull Lady's Series Minimalist Roman Numerals Drerss Watch 32mm is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Automatic. Stepping up, the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5740 ($178,045) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
