The 18028 is the smooth-bezel Day-Date, the understated outlier of the first 5-digit generation. Where the [[Reference:18038|18038]] carries the fluted bezel that is the Day-Date's signature, the 18028 leaves the bezel plain and polished, with no fluting, no diamonds and no bark. It is yellow gold, caliber 3055 and sapphire crystal, made from the late 1970s to 1988. The smooth bezel was the minority choice, so the 18028 is the scarcer of the two in production yet trades at much the same level, because the fluted look is what most buyers wanted. It is the dressy sleeper of the line. The dials do the lifting, and the stone and lacquered ones turn a discreet President into something rarer. | The 18028 is the smooth-bezel Day-Date, the understated outlier of the first 5-digit generation.
