The short answer

The closest alternative to the Patek Philippe Grand Complications 5236 is the Patek Philippe Complications 5326 ($92,023) — moonphase and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Blancpain Villeret Quantième Complet at $37,700 (vs $156,039 for the Grand Complications 5236) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Pequignet Royale Paris Or - 39,5 mm is the standout microbrand take — moonphase and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar Lumen ($530,000) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
