The short answer

The closest alternative to the Ming 20.01 Series 5 is the Ming 20.01 Series ($49,000) — shared caliber (Caliber 6361) and Same family (20.01). If price is the constraint, the Massena LAB Archetype 1.0 at $4,250 (vs $49,000 for the 20.01 Series 5) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Baume & Mercier Classima Automatic is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Sunburst dial. Stepping up, the Patek Philippe Grand Complications 5236 ($156,039) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
