Christie’s International Head of Retail for Watches, Reginald Brack, gives an in-depth look at this Rolex Milgauss, Ref. 1019. This example includes a Rolex 78360 bracelet with 501B end-links.
SPECIALIST NOTES:
The Milgauss was introduced in 1956 and it was designed for use in areas of high electromagnetic fields which can be found in laboratories and nuclear facilities. The Milgauss can resist magnetic fields up to 1000 gauss and it was put to use at The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the world’s preeminent particle physics laboratory. This particular example features the highly desirable black dial, while a more common version had the silver dial.
