In the early 1960s, Rolex introduced the Milgauss ref. 1019 replacing its former references. With a refreshed appeal, the new model featured a contemporary stainless steel Oyster case with an enlarged 40mm diameter similarly retaining its anti-magnetic cage protecting the movement. The reference was available in either a silver or black dial and was discontinued in 1990.
The present example Rolex Milgauss ref. 1019 with a silver dial is offered in “New Old Stock” condition with extremely minimal signs of wear. Bearing a 6.13 million serial from circa 1980, the present example is presented with its original guarantee dated 1990. Stationary for 10 years after its production and tucked away safely in the vault, the present example bears its desirable caseback sticker intact. The present specimen will surely please collectors of vintage tool watches seeking for an untouched example of the ref. 1019.
