Description
Here is a rare and highly collectable reference 1019 Rolex Milgauss from 1970 with Rolex Service paper from 1994 along with Rolex box. Certainly one of the least recognized Rolex models, the 1019 wears great and looks great on the wrist.
Original stainless steel case with dimensions of 37.5mm diameter by 12.6mm thick. Case features original smooth bezel, domed acrylic crystal and original screw down crown. The real story with the 1019’s case is the soft inner case and case back assembly that holds the inner case down firmly over the movement to protect it from magnetic fields. Rolex, being a true provider of tools, gave scientists and researchers what they need with this case construction, which provides protection from fields of up to one thousand gauss (a measurement of magnetism). Ordinary watches’ timekeeping begins to be affected by magnetism at around 40 gauss. Also, the 1000 gauss is how the Milgauss got its name, as 1000 is “mil” and “gauss” is gauss. Case is in near mint condition. Case back has date code of II.70. Serial number is 2455XXX.
Original untouched silver dial in mint condition. Applied hour markers. Hands are original with inlaid luminous and in mint condition. The original seconds hand has a red arrow at the end. The hands provide excellent legibility. The red ‘MILGAUSS’ is a great design touch that adds a lot of pizzazz to the look of this watch.
Original Rolex automatic caliber 1580 with 26 jewels beating inside. It's a slower beating movement, which you can see by the action of the seconds hand. Movement is clean and running and is a C.O.S.C. Certified Chronometer.
Rolex heavy link Oyster bracelet reference 78360 in near mint condition.
This watch is all original, received the Rolex Service and will be delivered with Rolex Service paper and Rolex box.
