Audemars Piguet Disco Volante
The Audemars Piguet Disco Volante is a striking expression of 1960s design, defined by its broad circular case and refined simplicity. Crafted in 18k white gold and measuring 35 mm, the watch frames a clean white dial with slim gold stick indices, creating a restrained contrast between warm detailing and the cool tone of the case. Powered by a manual-wind movement and paired with a leather strap, it reflects Audemars Piguet’s ability to create a dress watch with both elegance and unmistakable presence.
Excellent vintage condition
The name “Disco Volante,” Italian for “flying saucer,” refers to the wide, disc-like silhouette that distinguished a number of forward-looking watch designs during the mid-20th century. In this Audemars Piguet interpretation, the circular case becomes the defining feature, giving the watch a sculptural character without relying on ornamentation.
The white dial is deliberately minimal, with gold stick indices and slender hands allowing proportion and geometry to take center stage. The use of 18k white gold gives the design a discreet, modern quality, while the manual-wind movement preserves the slim profile expected of a refined dress watch from the period.
This Disco Volante stands apart from more conventional round watches through its expansive case and clean architectural form. It represents the quieter, design-led side of vintage Audemars Piguet: elegant, unconventional, and confident in its simplicity.
