A popular timepiece originating in the 1950s and remaining in production until the late '60s, the Audemars Piguet Disco Volante ("Flying Disc" in Italian) is a casual take on the luxurious designs that had dominated the wristwatch market for the better part of 50 years. A desirable timepiece in its day, the AP Disco Volante ref. 5093 was beloved by collectors for its unique aesthetic and lean profile. Thanks to the ultra-thin AP cal. 2003 powering it, the Disco Volante measures in at around 4mm thick – a truly remarkable achievement for the time. This slim profile, combined with its thick bezel, gave the Disco Volante a futuristic design that proved to be wonderfully popular with collectors at the time. Whilst it is an incredible piece of horological engineering, the Disco Volante's most vital asset is perhaps its presence on the wrist. With its knurled bezel, silver dial, and integrated crown, this Disco Volante is as aesthetically pleasing as they come and wears fantastically as it hugs your wrist.

The overall condition of the watch is very good. Dial shows spotting on its surface, as well as some paint loss, primarily thru the index at 12. While dial is best cosidered to be in very good condition, the case is immaculate. It retains its original sharp edges and finshing, with only slight wear on it surface. Hallmark and serial number are clearly visible. The Audemars Piguet strap and buckle appear to be original to the watch.

Please Note: Due to CITES considerations, if the watch is to be shipped outside of the USA, an alternative leather strap to the existing exotic skin version, shall be provided.
