There's also the ETA 6498 route of having a watch put together with a similar look (much like @JimInOz did recently).
I found the following dial on Ottofrei (and I guess there are likely other alternatives...)

If the Patek’s Breguet numerals are something you’re drawn too then maybe search for vintage Movado. Some really nice examples and they’re quite often two-tone dials.
Edit to add... maybe something this one I just found on IG (user: theydid)
The answer to the original question is no.. There is not an alternative for a patek philippe at 2 to 6k.
I started reading this thread but... You love the 5196p.. Quite possibly the most beautiful modern patek ever made.. But you'd rather spend less so you looked through the nomos lineup???? Did I miss some significant amounts of mind altering drugs you took between the top and the bottom of the thread? Lol
I mean nomos make cool watches and all but this is like comparing a picasso with.. The winner of the local art fair? Or my kids painting (which is priceless but...)
Fwiw I am 95 Investment grade vintage now and this is one of the only modern watches I own. Along with the 5170g I think one of the top couple modern pateks and quite possibly a decent investment as well now that it's been discontinued
There's a very good one at European watch Co At a good price
