Salmon Dial Day Date 118239

Has anyone seen this Salmon dial before with diamond baguettes? It’s a White Gold Day Date from 2000 (118239) and it’s hard to come by any information regarding this dial. I know certain Salmon dials are rare, but interested if anyone knows anything about it or sees any watch outs. Interested in potentially purchasing. Link to images:

You pictures did not come thru.

In 1990 I had a platinum DD with a salmon dial.... white romans. I never really
saw any others at that time. If you are interested in buying one... you should talk to one of the vintage guys Like Marco Nicoloini at Grand Caliber ... he could likely find you one. Beautiful dial for sure.

It's not that unusual to see this dial on the Tridor DD.

Great looking dial you have, but there are many variants of diamond salmon DD36 dials.
Borrowed examples including one like yours in the link.

I like the all baguette dials.
The diamonds others look like chips.
