Audemars Piguet Disco Volante

Audemars Piguet Ref. 94406 "Disco Volante" – Unworn New Old Stock (NOS) Time Capsule w/ Extract, Tang Buckle & Tag (Circa 1965) For the discerning vintage connoisseur, we are incredibly proud to present a literal time capsule: an entirely unworn, New Old Stock (NOS) Audemars Piguet Reference 94406 "Disco Volante" dating to circa 1965. To find a mid-century ultra-thin Audemars Piguet is a privilege; to find one preserved in a virgin, untouched state for over six decades is an absolute rarity. The Case & A Collector’s Dream Patina The 18k yellow gold "Flying Saucer" case is entirely unpolished, retaining its razor-sharp original lines, factory bevels, and correct architecture. Crucially, the gold has developed a spectacular, honest oxide patina—uniform tarnish accumulated from decades of undisturbed vault sleep. Because this delicate oxidation disappears the moment a polishing wheel or cloth touches the metal, it stands as bulletproof physical evidence of the case's completely unpolished, pristine state. Dial & Movement Protected by the virgin case is a flawless, beautifully clean original dial that faces spectacularly. Powering this ultra-thin masterpiece is the legendary manual-winding AP Caliber 2003, presenting in immaculate mechanical condition with no tool-slip marks or improper historical servicing. The Ultimate Provenance & Ephemera What elevates this piece into an elite class of collectibility is the accompanying archival and physical ephemera. The watch remains mounted on its original, factory-signed Audemars Piguet leather strap and correct 18k gold tang buckle. Furthermore, it retains its incredibly rare original 1960s Audemars Piguet hangtag. To guarantee absolute peace of mind, the watch is accompanied by an official Audemars Piguet Extract from the Archives, providing definitive historical validation straight from Le Brassus. An unrepeatable opportunity to own a piece of holy-trinity watchmaking history exactly as it left the factory doors 60 years ago.
