I believe the perfect solution would be....
Don't restore the dial but try to ask for a NOS dial. Well... they may still have it around... you know... anything magical can happen with Patek.
AND
Keep the old dial untouched.
However, even they do have the NOS dial, I am not sure if they allow you to keep the old dial...
Anyway, I would suggest you to contact Patek (Geneva) directly. I am sure that they are more than happy to discuss with you about the restoration of your 1518. They may come up with solutions that you may never think of.
Remember, contact Patek in Geneva. I have a feeling that they care their watches more than anyone else.

Dear Guys, A friend of mine recently received this Patek 1518. It had spent 40 years in a safety deposit box...so the good news is that it was never polished and the hallmarks are unbelievable. The bad news is the degredation of the dial (sorry the photo ...
keep as is...
I would not mess around with the dial and keep it as is. lovely watch !! Roni
