The Rolex Milgauss 116400 is one of the most distinctive and technically fascinating models in the Rolex collection. Originally created for engineers, scientists, and professionals exposed to strong magnetic fields, it is engineered to withstand up to 1,000 gauss, thanks to its internal magnetic-shielding construction.
This example features the clean and highly recognizable black dial, highlighted by the iconic orange lightning-bolt seconds hand, a hallmark of the modern Milgauss. The 40 mm Oystersteel case combines sporty presence with refined elegance, enhanced by polished finishes that give the watch a contemporary and understated character.
Unlike later versions, this reference does not feature the green-tinted sapphire crystal, making this early 116400 variant particularly appealing for collectors. The smooth polished bezel and Oyster bracelet complete its minimalistic and timeless design.
Inside beats the reliable Rolex Calibre 3131, an automatic movement equipped with antimagnetic components developed specifically for the Milgauss. It offers a power reserve of approximately 48 hours and holds Rolex’s Superlative Chronometer certification.
This 2008 Rolex Milgauss is offered as a full set, including its original Rolex box, warranty card, manuals, and documentation, and is in excellent condition.
