Engineered in 1956 for scientists and engineers working near electromagnetic fields up to 1,000 gauss, the Milgauss remains Rolex's antimagnetic specialist. Its soft-iron Faraday cage shields the Calibre 3131 inside a 40mm Oystersteel case. The lightning-bolt seconds hand signals its purpose at a glance. The 2007 revival gave us the 116400 and the green-crystal 116400GV, references our desk authenticates carefully before any handover.

All current-generation Milgauss references measure 40mm in Oystersteel, housing Rolex's Calibre 3131 within a soft-iron Faraday cage. The two key references diverge at the crystal: the 116400 uses standard sapphire (available in black or white dial), while the 116400GV features the 'glace verte' green sapphire that defines the model's modern identity. Rolex quietly discontinued both references circa 2023, elevating the importance of full set—box, papers, and warranty card—for resale value. Orange-dial GV examples attract collector premiums. Inspect crystals closely; the green tint is a factory-only replacement.
The 1956 reference 6541 debuted with a honeycomb dial and matching bezel. The refined reference 1019 followed before a nearly 20-year hiatus beginning in 1988. The 2007 revival—116400 and 116400GV—became the model's definitive and final modern era.

At $11,500 for steel examples, pricing reflects a recently discontinued reference finding its post-production floor—rational value with scarcity-driven upside ahead. Current live range: $11,500 – $13,700. Prices shown are the full card price; bank-wire payment saves about 3.4%.
Model names, references and specifications are referenced from the official Rolex Newsroom (www.rolex.com). Trademarks and product imagery rights remain with the manufacturer; product photography shown is of our own inventory.
Most people land on a page like this for one of two reasons: they want to buy a Rolex Milgauss, or they already own one and want to know the number. The prices above answer the first question — they are what the piece sells for once a specialist has cleared it.
For the second, send the reference and a few photographs. A specialist reads the case, dial, bracelet and papers and comes back inside one business day with a firm figure, taken as cash or as credit against something else. We cover fully insured shipping in both directions, so it costs nothing to find out and nothing to walk away.
