Starting the week with a Monday Milgauss, for our latest #SothebysStyleWatch 👀 
This rare Rolex ref. 1019 belongs to Mikael wallhagen, Head of our Geneva Watch Department, and dates from 1984.

The reference, first introduced in 1960, was designed specifically for the scientific community, and is capable of withstanding magnetic fields of up to 1,000 gauss - hence the name 'Milgauss'. This particular example's case (38mm), dial and hands are unique for this model, adding to its appeal. For Mikael, although the design is relatively simple and free from complications, the black dial gives the watch a strong character. A watch you can wear anytime, anywhere.
