Description
Here is a rare and collectable reference 1019 Rolex Milgauss from 1968 with rare silver print on the original black dial. Certainly one of the least recognizable Rolex models, the 1019 wears great and looks great on the wrist.
Original stainless steel case with dimensions of 38mm diameter by 13.5mm thick. Case features original smooth bezel, plastic crystal and original screw down crown. The big 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 mint condition. Case back has date code of III.68. Serial number is 1985XXX.
Original untouched black dial with rare silver print, in mint original 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 folded link Oyster bracelet in near mint condition.
This watch is guaranteed original and will be delivered with Rolex box.
