The Rolex Milgauss Ref. 116400GV is a 40mm automatic watch purpose-built for resistance to magnetic fields of up to 1,000 gauss — a specification that earned it early favour among scientists and engineers at facilities like CERN. Produced from 2007 and discontinued in 2023, the reference 116400GV represents the watch's most visually distinct iteration: the suffix 'GV' stands for 'Glace Verte,' French for green glass, referring to the exclusive green-tinted sapphire crystal that Rolex developed specifically for this model and does not use on any other reference. Combined with the Z-Blue dial — an electric sunburst blue coated in zirconium — the 116400GV is the most collectible and visually arresting variant of the modern Milgauss. Its 2023 discontinuation has heightened collector interest significantly, with full-set examples now commanding strong premiums on the secondary market.
The Z-Blue dial is a deep, iridescent blue sunburst finish, set with applied white gold baton hour markers filled with Chromalight luminescent material. At 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, the markers are picked out in orange — a nod to the watch's scientific-instrument heritage. The iconic lightning bolt-shaped seconds hand, also in orange, is the Milgauss's most distinctive design element, referencing the electromagnetic theme of the original 1956 reference 6541. The flat, smooth polished Oystersteel bezel frames the green-tinted crystal cleanly. Beneath the case sits an inner Faraday cage of ferromagnetic alloys that shields the movement from electromagnetic disruption. The Oyster bracelet is polished with centre links and closes via an Oysterlock clasp with the Easylink 5mm comfort extension.
Caliber 3131 powers the 116400GV with 48 hours of power reserve. The movement features a Parachrom blue hairspring — itself paramagnetic and insensitive to magnetic fields — adding a second layer of protection beyond the Faraday cage. Certified as a Superlative Chronometer to ±2 seconds per day. Buy this preowned Rolex Milgauss Ref. 116400GV 40mm Z-Blue Green Sapphire Oystersteel Oyster on Master Luxury with box and papers at exclusive price.
