The short answer

The closest alternative to the Patek Philippe Complications 5172 is the A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Chronograph — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Longines Spirit Flyback 42mm at $5,000 (vs $97,150 for the Complications 5172) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Lebois & Co Sector Chronograph 324.442 is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Blancpain Villeret Équation du Temps Marchante ($250,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
