Description

The Rolex Milgauss Ref. 116400GV is a brilliant celebration of scientific heritage and avant-garde watch design. Originally introduced in 1956 for scientists working in high-magnetic environments—such as the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN)—this stunning 2009 model masterfully revives that legacy with a bold, contemporary aesthetic. Now officially discontinued, the Milgauss stands out as one of the most unique, eccentric, and highly collectible modern tool watches Rolex has ever produced.

The defining characteristic of the "GV" edition is its revolutionary green-tinted sapphire crystal (Glace Verte), an engineering feat so complex to manufacture that Rolex famously chose not to patent it, claiming no other brand could replicate it. Underneath this subtle green halo lies an intense black dial, perfectly contrasted by the legendary bright orange seconds hand shaped like a lightning bolt. Orange luminescent indices at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock add a vibrant punch of color, making it instantly recognizable from across any room.

Engineered to withstand magnetic fields up to 1,000 gauss, the watch features an internal soft-iron Faraday cage protecting the high-precision, in-house Calibre 3131 automatic movement. This movement is further fortified with Rolex’s patented blue Parachrom hairspring to guarantee absolute reliability. Fitted on a robust Oyster bracelet that blends brushed outer links with mirror-polished center links, this 2009 Milgauss GV is the perfect daily luxury watch for those who appreciate classic Rolex engineering with a striking, unconventional personality.
