2015 Rolex Milgauss 40MM White Dial Oyster Bracelet (116400)
The Rolex Milgauss represents one of the most distinctive and historically significant models in the Rolex collection, originally developed in 1956 for scientists and engineers working in environments exposed to powerful magnetic fields. This 2015 example features the highly sought-after white dial, affectionately nicknamed the “Polar,” complemented by vibrant orange hour markers and the iconic orange lightning-bolt seconds hand. Its polished stainless steel case, smooth bezel, and classic Oyster bracelet create a unique combination of technical innovation and unmistakable Rolex styling.
Powered by Rolex’s in-house Calibre 3131 automatic movement, the Milgauss was engineered to withstand magnetic fields of up to 1,000 gauss, thanks to its innovative magnetic shielding and paramagnetic movement components. The 40mm Oystersteel case offers a substantial yet comfortable wrist presence, while the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and screw-down Twinlock crown provide the durability expected from a Rolex sports watch. Unlike traditional Rolex professional models, the Milgauss embraces a more unconventional design, making it one of the brand’s most recognizable and charismatic references.
Discontinued in 2023, the Milgauss has become increasingly appealing to collectors seeking something unique within the Rolex lineup. The white dial variant is particularly desirable, having been discontinued in 2014, making examples from the final years of production especially interesting to enthusiasts. With its distinctive orange accents, scientific heritage, and unconventional design, this Milgauss offers a compelling opportunity to own a discontinued Rolex professional timepiece that stands apart from the traditional Submariner, GMT-Master, and Explorer collections.
