The short answer

The closest alternative to the Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5164 is the A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus — common cross-shop and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate at $33,200 (vs $71,643 for the Aquanaut 5164) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Specht & Sohne Specht & Söhne SP0018 Automatic is the standout microbrand take — pro diver 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.
