The closest alternative to the Cartier Santos de Cartier Large Model Yellow Gold is the Rolex 1908 ($28,850) — looks nearly identical and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the NOMOS Glashütte Ludwig neomatik 41 date at $4,830 (vs $73,500 for the Santos de Cartier Large Model Yellow Gold) covers most of the same brief.
