A striking example of mid-century elegance, this Audemars Piguet “Disco Volante" (“flying saucer”)  showcases the refined minimalism and sculptural fluidity that defined the brand’s design language of the 1960s and 1970s.

Crafted entirely from 18k white gold, the watch features a 34mm case seamlessly integrated into a supple bracelet, together weighing 64.7 grams of gold, representing approximately €5,150 in intrinsic value. Its proportions and smooth contours lend a distinctive presence on the wrist, fitting sizes 16.5cm to 18.5cm.

The cream coloured dial bears the rare early signature “Audemars, Piguet”  with a comma separating the names, a typographical detail that denotes an earlier production period and is cherished by collectors for its historical authenticity. Light staining around 10 o’clock and subtle oxidation on the white gold surfaces enhance its vintage charm, revealing the honest patina of age.

Powered by a manual-wind movement running accurately, this piece embodies the discreet luxury and craftsmanship for which Audemars Piguet is renowned. A superb example of the maison’s mid-century design, it offers both intrinsic and historical value in equal measure.
