The short answer

The closest alternative to the Vacheron Constantin Métiers d'Art The Legend of the Chinese Zodiac Year of the Horse 40mm Platinum Watch is the Vacheron Constantin Métiers d'Art Tribute to Great Civilisations Buste d'Akhénaton 42mm White Gold Watch — same family (Métiers d'Art) and Art / handcrafted dial. If price is the constraint, the Sartory Billard SB04-E Pietersite Platinum at $5,251 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Trenyo Year of The Fire Horse Unique Piece is the standout microbrand take — art / handcrafted dial and Looks nearly identical.
