So no dress options? Why you looking at DD and DJ then? I’m biased though as I find those pieces to be incredibly bland. Especially when you’re talking DD prices, way more interesting stuff.

I like the 15400 suggestion you picked out. White face is easily under $20k too. PJ had some awesome stuff, but I’m going to assume you’re like most and want to keep it more mainstream high end branding (absolutely nothing wrong with that and in no way an insult). If we’re talking not ‘dressy’, here’s some solid suggestions:

AP ROO (ton of colors, 42 or 44mm models)
AP ROC (a lot of people like the panda dial)
Lange 1815 Chrono (white face is in budget, black face is slight stretch, this is the clear winner if you wanted to save a little, a grail watch for some)
Patek 5164 (if you can stretch budget a touch, incredible versatility)


All my other suggestions are stuff I’d say to wear with ‘dressy’ wear so I don’t think you’d be too interested.
