About the Rolex Milgauss

First made in the 1950s for scientists and engineers exposed to magnetic fields, the Milgauss was revived in 2007 with the reference 116400. The 116400GV added a distinctive green-tinted sapphire crystal before the line was discontinued in 2023.

Milgauss references and generations

Key references and variants we regularly assess:

• Reference 116400 — clear crystal, black or white dial
• Reference 116400GV — green sapphire crystal, 'Z-blue' or black dial
• Orange lightning-bolt seconds hand across the range
• Original antimagnetic soft-iron inner case
• Later discontinued examples with full sets

Movements and calibres

The modern Milgauss uses the in-house automatic 3131 with a soft-iron shield giving high antimagnetic resistance. Running condition and service history feed the valuation.

What affects the value of a Rolex Milgauss

Among the factors we weigh when valuing a Rolex Milgauss:

• Reference — clear vs. green sapphire (GV)
• Dial variant, including 'Z-blue'
• Box, papers and service records
• Overall condition and bracelet stretch
• Prior polishing
• Demand, which reflects its discontinuation

Selling a Rolex Milgauss without box or papers

Missing paperwork does not put a sale out of reach. We may consider a Rolex Milgauss without its original box, papers, warranty card or receipt.

Any purchase remains subject to authentication, condition inspection, and ownership and identification checks. Documentation can affect valuation depending on the piece, and we will always explain how.

How Fair Vintage assesses your Rolex Milgauss

We look at originality first — dial, hands, case and, where relevant, bezel and bracelet — then movement condition and any service history.

Replacement parts, prior polishing, provenance, and box and papers all feed into the assessment. We explain our reasoning so the offer is one you can understand and rely on.
