Rolex produced the reference 1019 from 1966 until 1990. The Milgauss was designed for use in high electro-magnetic fields like laboratories and power stations. One of the most distinctive of all Rolex models, the 1019 was the last tool watch designed for a specific activity. Despite being in production for over 20 years it was not produced in significant numbers as demand was limited.
Reference 1019 is illustrated in 100 Years of Rolex by F. & G. Mondani, 2008, p. 120.
