Rolex Milgauss 40mm 116400GV Z-Blue NFC Card 2021 [Preowned]
Overview
The Rolex Milgauss 40mm reference 116400GV is a truly unique and now highly collectible timepiece. Designed in 1956 for scientists and engineers, the Milgauss was purpose-built to resist magnetic fields up to 1,000 gauss. Crucially, this distinctive model has been discontinued, solidifying its status as an immediate object of desire for collectors and enthusiasts. It stands as a compelling fusion of Rolex's scientific heritage and avant-garde style.
This particular model is instantly recognizable due to its striking, high-contrast aesthetic. The vibrant, deep Z-Blue dial provides a spectacular contrast to the case and is framed by the distinctive green sapphire crystal (GV), an exclusive Rolex innovation that adds a brilliant, emerald glow to the watch face. The iconic lightning bolt seconds hand—an homage to the original 1950s design—further reinforces its unique character.
The Milgauss achieves its legendary anti-magnetic capability through its core engineering: a protective inner shield made of ferromagnetic alloys housed inside the Oyster case. This shield protects the Calibre 3131 automatic movement from interference, ensuring its precision remains unaffected. The movement is certified as a Superlative Chronometer and is known for its robustness, featuring a paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring for superior resistance to shocks and temperature variations.
Housed in a 40mm Oystersteel case and secured by a robust Oyster bracelet, the Z-Blue Milgauss is a sought-after piece. The availability of a complete set from 2021, which includes the latest generation NFC warranty card, makes this specific timepiece exceptionally appealing. Due to its unique aesthetics and discontinued status, the Milgauss 116400GV represents a highly aesthetic and sound investment opportunity for the discerning collector.
