Apologies for the delayed reply, somehow I missed your post.
I don’t know for certain whether there are 5-digit Morelli’s DDs, but I strongly doubt it. If there were any such, presumably they should have their own reference number (like 1811 for the 4-digit Morelli’s and 18078/18248 for the SQ/DQ barks), and I don’t believe I’ve ever heard of one. Even among the 4-digits, Morelli’s are *much* rarer than bark models.
Keep in mind that only the bezel and bracelet carry these decorations, so one does occasionally find a ‘regular’ DD with those bits swapped in - Always check the case’s reference number to confirm whether it was born that way.
I’ve seen that watch from O&C - If it didn’t have the paint deterioration around the lume plots, I’d’ve been sorely tempted!
