You could try but I think you'll struggle to find it - there isn't one. The standard gauge for your car should be a 0 to 10psi one. They are not 100% reliable and are prone to sticking. A blocked jet is usually indicated by high pressure but if they are clear then it's probably just cold running that's causing your anxiety.
However, it is normal for the gauge to show maximum pressure until the oil is thoroughly hot. It is of course possible that a previous owner has had the oil pump refurbished or modified to increase running pressure. You'd need to ask what's been done to it during its life. It's not normal though for the pressure to remain high when hot at tick-over. Tap the glass to make sure the needle's not sticking.
