Rolex “1019” Milgauss

Description

Offered here is a very early Rolex Milgauss, Ref. 1019, circa 1968 (serial 1.9m).  Introduced in 1956, the Milgauss was designed as Rolex’s answer to magnetism at the workplace, and was made for workers in power plants, scientific fields, and medical fields, where the magnetism of a watch would often be a disrupting problem.

This Rolex Milgauss is in great vintage condition.  The case has been polished in the past, remaining thick and even, with original bevels still present.  The dial is in great condition, showing no flaws, extremely well-preserved.  The original tritium lume is still present in both dial and hands, aged to a stunning yellow color.

The watch is fit on a Rolex Swiss folded-link 7836 bracelet, with 380 endlinks, dating to 1970, and has 12 full links with minor stretch.
