Vacheron Constantin Disco Volante in 18 k yellow gold ref 6508, 1960

Dealer description — Bulang & Sons

Founded in 1755 by Jean-Marc Vacheron in Geneva, Vacheron Constantin is the world’s oldest watch manufacturer in continuous operation. Known as part of the "Holy Trinity" of Swiss watchmaking, the brand merged with François Constantin in 1819, adopting the motto: "Do better if possible, and that is always possible." With a lineage stretching back centuries, the brand has been responsible for some of the most sophisticated and beautifully executed complications ever produced. At hand, we have a very ultra-thin and strikingly cool “Disco Volante,” or flying saucer. The 34mm 18k yellow gold case features hidden lugs and a hand-finished guilloché surface with a glorious red patina on the gold. The silver-colored dial is elegantly simple, with stick markers, no lume, and a mirror-like finish that reflects the hands. The stick hands are topped by a black Vacheron & Constantin signature, completing the refined look. This rare flying saucer has been paired with a thin leather strap and a uniquely shaped 18k gold Vacheron Constantin pin buckle. The ultra-thin caliber 1003 hand-wound movement has been fully serviced by our watchmaker and is ready for years of enjoyment. We love these Disco Volantes—they are effortlessly cool, lightweight on the wrist, and an absolute joy to wear. Take a closer look, and let’s have a conversation about this remarkable piece.
