The short answer
The closest alternative to the Cartier Santos-Dumont Large Model Yellow Gold is the Blancpain Ladybird Colors Phases de Lune ($43,300) — classic dress and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente gold 33 doré at $12,500 (vs $52,000 for the Santos-Dumont Large Model Yellow Gold) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Lilienthal Berlin Rosalux Sky Blue Leather Brown Ndash Lilienthal Berlin North America is the standout microbrand take — classic dress and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Blancpain Ladybird Colors Phases de Lune ($141,600) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
