Rolex 18048 dial variant, need help

Hi Ladies and Gentlemen,

I bought a lovely 18048 full set with kind of a rare dial I guess. I was unable to find a second watch with this configuration and I wonder if somebody could advise me for the name of the dial.

Maybe somebody has an idea about the value of the watch as well ?

Best regards

The thing that concerns me about the dial is that most 18048 dials like this say T SWISS MADE T. What is the serial number on it? The dial may make sense if it is a super early 18048

Is that a white gold bezel?

Nice looking watch…
This 18048 should have a single quick movement as it has the 44 diamond white gold bezel and white gold hour markers with a T Swiss T dial.
I just let mine go last week in a trade that had the polar diamond dial with T Swiss Made T.
Personally I don’t see a major issue as it looks period correct to me, but let’s hear some other opinions.

Good morning fellows, it is an early one. 8.6 mill serial , sold 1984. so all correct in my humble opinion.
