Rolex Milgauss 1019 - 1984

One of the most sought after vintage steel Rolex's, the 1019 is growing in popularity by the day it seems.

This particular example comes from our personal collection, and started life as a silver dial. The dial and hands were very average, so it was sent to RSC here in Melbourne and given a full overhaul. In this service, the dial was replaced with a black dial that is now Luminova, as were the hands.

Case is excellent and very clean after a polish by RSC. Lugs remain very thick and even, with clear numbers showing between them. Shows a few dings commensurate with age.

Caseback is original, stamped 1019 inside and stamped II.67, this is correct for later production Milgauss and assumption is Rolex was using up leftover casebacks during this time. X spring is original and present.

Movement is a 1570. Unsure why it is stamped as a 1570 instead of 1580, but possibly due to lack of movement availability at the time. RSC saw no issue with this.

Bracelet is a Rolex 78360 with 13 links and 580 endlinks. S DE date code. Very tight condition.

Comes as watch, copy of the service quotation and corresponding receipt. Unfortunately the service card was stolen in a recent burglary.

If you’re looking for a vintage piece that you can actually wear without concern of damaging tritium, flaking hands or lack of water resistance then this is the perfect example. Vintage charm, with one of Rolex’s best ever steels ports pieces in our opinion, but looks as if it rolled out of the factory with all the benefits that brings. Perfect.
