Our opinion: Un bel exemplaire d’une des références les plus rares chez Rolex vintage référence 1019. La Rolex Milgauss avec son cadran noir et indexs carré et écriture Milgauss en rouge. Un must have d’une collection Rolex, modèle produit jusqu’en 1980, cette montre fait partie de la première série mark I de 1968 les plus rares et recherchées, numéro de série 18XXXX première série de 1019. La montre est en bon état, son cadran d ‘origine un des plus rare avec square lume et écritures blanches avec une superbe patine des indexs qui matchent les aiguilles avec le rouge bien visible ! Montre rare dans cet état car elles avaient quasiment toutes le cadran blanc plus lisible surement à cette époque. Un très bel exemplaire collector et en très bon état avec son bracelet oyster blindé plus tardif mais plus agréable à porter.
