Rolex Milgauss Ref. 116400GV – Stainless Steel – Blue Dial – Green Sapphire Crystal – Box & Papers – 2022 – Excellent Condition – Discontinued

We are pleased to present this highly desirable Rolex Milgauss Ref. 116400GV, made in stainless steel and offered with its original box and papers from 2022. Preserved in excellent condition, this exceptional example features the striking Z-Blue dial and Rolex’s signature green sapphire crystal, making it one of the most distinctive and sought-after modern references from the manufacture. Following the discontinuation of the Milgauss collection, these watches have become increasingly collectible among enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Originally introduced in 1956, the Milgauss was developed specifically for scientists, engineers, and professionals working in environments exposed to strong magnetic fields. Its name derives from its resistance to magnetic fields of up to 1,000 gauss, a remarkable achievement that established the model as one of the most technically innovative watches of its era. Throughout its history, the Milgauss has remained one of Rolex’s most unique and unconventional professional models.

The Ref. 116400GV is particularly celebrated for its vibrant metallic blue dial, commonly known as the "Z-Blue" dial, which creates a remarkable interplay of light and color. Combined with the iconic orange lightning-bolt seconds hand—a tribute to the model’s scientific origins—the watch possesses a distinctive character unlike any other Rolex sports watch. Completing the design is the exclusive green sapphire crystal, a feature unique to the Milgauss collection and exceptionally difficult to manufacture.

The robust 40 mm Oyster case is engineered to provide exceptional durability while housing the model’s sophisticated anti-magnetic architecture. An internal Faraday shield protects the movement from magnetic interference, ensuring precision and reliability even in demanding environments.

At the heart of the watch beats the Rolex manufacture Caliber 3131, a self-winding movement incorporating advanced anti-magnetic components and Rolex’s renowned engineering standards. Certified as a Superlative Chronometer, the movement delivers outstanding accuracy, durability, and long-term performance.
