The 116400 is the Milgauss revival. Rolex unveiled it at Baselworld March 2007, nineteen years after 1019 production ended and at the fiftieth anniversary of the 1956 6541 catalogue launch. The brief inverts the 1019's. Where the 1019 stripped the 6541's signatures back to a dress-coded antimagnetic Oyster, the 116400 revives the lightning-bolt seconds hand and adds the green sapphire crystal that only the Milgauss line has ever worn. Four sub-references run across sixteen years, two with clear sapphire crystals (white dial 116400-0002 and black dial 116400-0001) and two with the Glace Verte green-tinted sapphire (Z-Black 116400GV-0001 and the 2014 Z-Blue 116400GV-0002). The line ends at Watches & Wonders Geneva 2023 with the 116400GV discontinuation. Rolex has not announced a Milgauss successor.
