Interesting, thanks!
So these large pavé dials were indeed offered on 5-digit models, and at least as far back as 1989, if the dial is original and the auction copy is correct.
The pavé dials always have their dial text on the little plaques, but this Monaco 18238 appears to have two-tone plaques - I don’t recall seeing two-tone plaques before. Also, these rubies’ settings are unlike their usual ones.
