Below: what makes the Z-Blue (116400GV) distinctive, what to verify before buying, and how it fits the Naples collector scene.
The Z-Blue took the green-crystal Milgauss and added a striking electric-blue lacquer dial, named for the “Z-Blue” colour code. Combined with the green crystal tint and the orange lightning-bolt seconds hand, it is the boldest expression of the modern Milgauss.
It shares the 116400GV reference and the antimagnetic soft-iron shield; only the dial sets it apart from the black-dial GV.
What to verify
In Naples
The Z-Blue is the Milgauss for someone who wants colour with their antimagnetism — a distinctive, discontinued piece that suits a collector building variety. As with the GV, a clean example is a secondary-market pursuit in Naples.
We are an independent reference, not a dealer: we cannot sell you a Z-Blue or appraise one. What we can do is help you read the reference and know what separates a correct example from a cobbled-together one.
Z-Blue FAQ
It is a Milgauss with an electric-blue sunburst dial under the green-tinted GV crystal, introduced in 2014 under reference 116400GV. The blue dial is what distinguishes it from the black-dial GV.
Yes. The Z-Blue uses the same green-tinted glace verte sapphire crystal as the GV; the difference is the vivid blue dial beneath it.
With the Milgauss discontinued in 2023, both the Z-Blue and black-dial GV are out of production. Clean, original examples draw steady collector demand.
Naples has an active Rolex market through retail, boutiques, and private sales — but Naples Rolex is an independent reference, not a dealer. We don't sell or broker watches. Use this guide to verify a Z-Blue before you buy, wherever you find it.
