Rolex Milgauss 116400GV Z-Blue Dial (2021)

Through the release of the esteemed Milgauss, Rolex sought to honour science through an ambitious design and brand new innovations. Recognised as one of the more dinstinctive and unique timepieces in the Rolex catalogue, this 116400GV model incorporates a Z-Blue dial with luminescent hour markers, complimented by a green sapphire crystal to produce vivid light reflections, all while retaining perfect legibility. Its striking lightning bolt-shaped orange hand is the exclamation mark on a recognisable and classic design. Made from Oystersteel, and presented on an Oyster bracelet, this 40mm model remains in outstanding condition with little to no signs of wear. Initially conceived as a tool for scientists and engineers in the 1950s, the Milgauss was marketed as a innovative anti-magnetic watch, withstanding magnetic fields up to 1,000 gauss. Truly one of a kind in its day - a model which perfectly captured Rolex's pionerring spirit. While the Milgauss' design has remained faithful to its original '50s counterparts, 2007 saw the addition of a newly patented green sapphire crystal, boasting its scratchproof and anti-fade qualities. The current generation of the Milgauss is perhaps its finest yet, offering a fresh change of pace to the usual Rolex collections. This example is accompanied by its original packaging, booklets and guarantee dated Janurary 2021.
