Looks like a 16018 actually ... nice solid gold case ... not many around.

The "stain" might be deteoriation of the paint on the dial, which is usually more obvious with re-painted dials. Without clearer resolution pictures, it's hard to see it's a factory dial or a repainted one.

Seems like oil stain or moisture stain.
