Our View

The white‑dial Milgauss 116400 is one of Rolex’s most intriguing modern references. Produced in smaller numbers than its black and GV counterparts, it offers a cleaner, more distinctive aesthetic while retaining the iconic lightning‑bolt seconds hand and anti‑magnetic heritage.

Now discontinued, the Milgauss range is gaining increasing attention from collectors, and the white dial variant in particular is often considered a future standout. With its originality, strong performance and unique design, this is a fantastic opportunity to secure a modern Rolex that sits apart from the mainstream.
