If you haven’t heard of the reference 1018, it’s because of its low production numbers. One of the uncommon, cult-like references known to few collectors is the reference 1018, the cousin of the beloved reference 1016 Explorer. These Oyster Perpetual measures 36mm, aptly named “Oyster Perpetual Jumbo” as the OPs of the day were a smaller 34mm. Additionally, it is even more uncommon to find outside of the silver dial usually found on 1018s. The caseback is stamped I.69 which is correct due to batch manufacturing, with some parts no longer manufactured after this year. The watch has 558 end links, 78360 oyster bracelet with visible wear and a later S clasp.
Serial - Year: 6.03m serial ~1979
Bracelet - Strap: 78360 bracelet with S clasp. Fits up to 7.25” wrist
Box - Papers - Accessories: Watch only
Service History: Running at 3s/d, 287 amplitude
