The 18049 is the white-gold diamond-bezel Day-Date of the sapphire-crystal era, the 5-digit continuation of the gem-set [[Reference:1804|1804]] and the white-gold counterpart to the yellow-gold [[Reference:18048|18048]]. Case, movement and bracelet are the [[Reference:18039|18039]]; the factory diamond bezel is what changes. It ran from the late 1970s to 1988 on the caliber 3055. Where a yellow-gold diamond Day-Date is a familiar object, the white-gold version reads almost as steel until the bezel catches light, and it appears at the major houses far less often than the 18048 does. | The 18049 is the white-gold diamond-bezel Day-Date of the sapphire-crystal era, the 5-digit continuation of the gem-set [[Reference:1804|1804]] and the white-gold counterpart to the yellow-gold [[Reference:18048|18048]].
