Learn More About the Rolex Milgauss
Why is the Rolex Milgauss unique among Rolex models?
Originally introduced in 1956 for scientists and engineers, the Milgauss was built to resist magnetic fields up to 1,000 gauss – hence the name. It features a soft iron inner case, a lightning bolt seconds hand, and distinctive green-tinted sapphire crystal in later models, making it instantly recognisable and technically impressive.
Is the Rolex Milgauss a good model to sell now?
Yes. Following its discontinuation in 2023, demand for the Milgauss has increased – particularly for the Z-Blue dial (116400GV) and the earlier white and black dial versions. As supply is now capped, resale prices have remained strong for well-kept examples.
Which Milgauss references are most in demand?
The 116400GV Z-Blue with green sapphire and electric blue dial is particularly desirable. Earlier references with white or black dials are also sought after, especially when sold as full sets. Vintage Milgauss references like the 1019 are exceptionally valuable but rare.
What impacts the value of a Rolex Milgauss?
Key value factors include dial colour, crystal type (clear vs green sapphire), condition, and completeness of the set. Original box and papers, unpolished cases, and limited production years can all enhance resale value. Post-discontinuation demand has further driven prices upward.
How does the Milgauss compare to more mainstream Rolex models in resale?
While it may not match the liquidity of a Submariner or Daytona, the Milgauss appeals to a more design-focused and technically inclined buyer. Its relative rarity, quirky details, and now-discontinued status give it unique investment appeal in the current market.
Can you authenticate my Rolex Milgauss before I sell it?
Yes. Our team offers complimentary authentication and appraisal services. We’ll verify your reference number, movement, dial configuration, case integrity, and anti-magnetic construction to ensure it’s genuine and properly valued before any sale.
