Rolex Milgauss 116400GV – Black Dial – Green Tinted Glass – NOS

The Rolex Milgauss reference 116400GV, introduced in 2007 and produced until 2023, is undoubtedly one of the most distinctive professional watches ever created, representing a unique combination of Rolex’s scientific heritage, technical innovation, and unmistakably unconventional design. As the modern evolution of the earlier Milgauss generations, the 116400GV further developed Rolex’s anti-magnetic technology through contemporary engineering, while retaining the distinctive character that has always distinguished this model within the brand’s collection.

Housed in a robust 40 mm stainless steel Oyster case, the reference 116400GV was designed to offer outstanding durability and corrosion resistance, particularly in environments exposed to strong magnetic fields. Its most recognizable feature is the iconic green-tinted sapphire crystal, a distinctive hallmark of the Milgauss, which gives the watch an unmistakable visual identity while providing the durability and reliability expected from Rolex.

At the heart of the 116400GV beats the Rolex Caliber 3131, a self-winding mechanical movement specifically developed to provide enhanced resistance to magnetic fields, making it particularly suited to the scientific and engineering environments for which the Milgauss was originally conceived. This COSC-certified chronometer incorporates Rolex’s proprietary magnetic-shielding system, helping ensure reliable and stable performance even under demanding conditions.

This particular example features a striking black dial, enhanced by the signature orange lightning-bolt seconds hand and luminous hour markers. The glossy black surface provides excellent legibility while emphasizing the model’s distinctive blend of playful design and technical character. The interaction between the deep black dial and the green-tinted sapphire crystal creates a remarkable optical effect, one of the defining and most appreciated features of the reference 116400GV.

The Milgauss 116400GV has earned a special place among modern Rolex watches, thanks to its unusual aesthetic, strong technical identity, and unmistakable connection to Rolex’s scientific heritage. It represents a rare balance between innovation, functionality, and personality, making it an especially appealing and collectible reference for enthusiasts looking for something beyond the traditional Rolex design language.

This example was originally sold in 2009 and has remained in New Old Stock condition, with some of the original protective stickers still present. It is accompanied by its complete original set from Astrua (including Box, Astrua outer box, Warranty, warranty holder, booklets and red tag), one of the most important and historic Italian Rolex retailers.
