The Rolex Milgauss 116400GV is a cult-favourite within Rolex’s professional line—crafted not just for style, but for science. Originally designed in 1956 for engineers and technicians exposed to strong magnetic fields, the Milgauss was built to resist magnetic interference up to 1,000 gauss. The 116400GV variant, introduced in 2007, features the now-iconic green-tinted sapphire crystal—a first in Rolex history and a subtle nod to innovation.
This 2009 example comes with its original box and papers, featuring a black dial, luminous baton markers, and the unmistakable orange lightning bolt seconds hand. At once quirky, utilitarian, and elegant, the Milgauss remains one of the most distinct watches in Rolex’s modern catalog.

Why It’s Special
The 116400GV Milgauss is one of Rolex’s most unconventional releases in recent memory. The “GV” stands for Glace Verte, referring to the green sapphire crystal exclusive to this reference. This feature is not only visually unique but technically difficult to produce, which is why no other Rolex model uses it.
The model blends high-precision engineering with understated style, making it ideal for collectors who appreciate horological innovation and modern Rolex oddities. With its clean lines and standout design cues, the Milgauss wears equally well with a lab coat or a leather jacket.
