Milgauss
Model #116400 Box:No Paper:No Year:2012The Rolex Milgauss 116400 represents one of Rolex's most specialized professional timepieces, designed specifically for scientists and engineers working in high-magnetic environments. This distinctive 40mm stainless steel timepiece features a striking black dial complemented by the model's signature orange lightning bolt seconds hand—a design element that immediately distinguishes the Milgauss from other Rolex sport models. The smooth bezel and unique case proportions create a refreshingly different aesthetic within Rolex's traditionally conservative lineup.
Inside beats caliber 3131, featuring a soft iron Faraday cage that protects the movement from magnetic fields up to 1,000 gauss—hence the model's name. This sophisticated antimagnetic protection surpasses industry standards while maintaining Rolex's legendary chronometric precision and approximately 48 hours of power reserve. The green-tinted sapphire crystal adds another unique element, creating subtle color shifts that enhance the watch's scientific character. Our team appreciated this example's excellent condition, particularly the intact crystal and unblemished case surfaces.
Scientific professionals and design enthusiasts alike gravitate toward the Milgauss for its purposeful uniqueness within the Rolex catalog. With original card dated 01-JAN-2012, this represents the earlier generation of the modern Milgauss revival, making it increasingly collectible as production has recently ceased. Master Luxury recognizes this model's special appeal to those who appreciate functional design over pure luxury—this distinctive Rolex serves both as a capable tool watch and a statement of individual taste.
