Pre-Loved Rolex Milgauss

Why the Milgauss is iconic

Rolex launched the Milgauss in 1956 for scientists and engineers working near strong magnetic fields, its name referencing resistance to 1,000 gauss. The current reference, reintroduced in 2007, is defined by its lightning-bolt seconds hand and, on the GV variant, a distinctive green sapphire crystal.

What to pay pre-owned

Pre-owned UK prices generally run from around £5,800 to £11,500, centred near £8,000 for a full-set black-dial reference in strong condition. Complete box and papers, unpolished cases and the green-crystal GV dial variant push prices toward the top; missing documentation, heavy case polishing or worn bracelets bring it down.

Sizes & variants

References include the domed-crystal 116400 and green-tinted-crystal 116400GV, both in Oystersteel with black or white dial and orange lightning seconds hand.
