The short answer
The closest alternative to the Pequignet Royale Origine is the IWC Schaffhausen Iw359002 Portofino Complete Calendar ($11,200) — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient Classic Semi Skeleton at $670 (vs $9,450 for the Royale Origine) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Pequignet Royale Grand Sport is the standout microbrand take — same family (Royale) and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control Chronograph Calendar Pink Gold ($20,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
