Specialist note

Accompanied by the original Rolex box, certificate, Milgauss pamphlet detailing the attributes of the model and the original tie tags.

The Milgauss model was designed for use in areas of high electro-magnetic fields found in laboratories and electro-engineering. One of the most distinctive of all Rolex 'Sports' models, the 1019 was the last 'tool' watch designed for a specific activity to be produced by the company.
