The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Milgauss is a highly collectible model introduced by Rolex in 1956 with the model number 6451. The Milgauss was designed as antimagnetic watch specifically for those who worked in power plants, medical facilities and research labs (like those in Geneva) where electromagnetic fields can cause havoc with the timing of a watch. The current model Milgauss is equipped with amagnetic alloy (Parachrom-Blu) hairspring and movement encased by a Faraday cage. The name Milgauss is derived from the Latin mil, which means one-thousand, and gauss, the unit of a magnetic field. This model is so named because it can withstand a magnetic flux density of 1,000 gauss.
The Rolex Milgauss today remains a sought after model amongst Rolex collectors. Due to its relatively low sales and popularity during the 1960s and 70s, it has become rare in today's vintage watch market. A vintage Rolex Milgauss signed by Tiffany & Co. recently sold for over $32,000.(more...)
