ROLEX Milgauss Ref. 1019 Full Set – 1964

A rare and beautifully preserved example of one of Rolex’s most distinctive tool watches. This Milgauss 1019, produced in 1964, features the early silver dial variant with subtle, even tropicalisation and light spotting that adds rich character to its surface. The dial is further elevated by its stunningly aged lume, which has developed into a deep pumpkin hue over time, offering a warm and unmistakably vintage presence. Housed in a 38 mm stainless steel case, the watch is powered by the automatic, anti-magnetic caliber 1580, originally engineered for professionals exposed to high magnetic fields, such as scientists and engineers. The case retains its strong proportions and honest finish, pairing utility with understated elegance. What sets this example apart is its rarity and completeness. Sold on October 14th, the watch comes as a full set, including box and papers – an exceptional find for a reference that is already hard to come by in any form.This is a true collector’s piece, combining historical significance, original condition, and full provenance. A watch for those who value rarity with character and patina that tells a story.
