The short answer

The closest alternative to the Cartier Santos de Cartier Large Model Yellow Gold is the Bell & Ross BR-05 SKELETON GOLD ($44,820) — square case and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Bell & Ross BRS-92 ROSE GOLD at $13,932 (vs $48,800 for the Santos de Cartier Large Model Yellow Gold) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Duxot Quadrata Automatic is the standout microbrand take — square case and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Hublot Square Bang Tourbillon 4 Day Power Reserve 3d Carbon 42mm ($115,000) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
