Audemars Piguet Rose Gold Disco Volante 14988OR
Audemars Piguet Ref. 14988OR – Disco Volante in 18k Rose Gold with Clous de Paris Bezel
The Audemars Piguet Disco Volante Ref. 14988OR is a rare and refined creation from one of Switzerland’s most storied maisons. Translating to “flying saucer,” the Disco Volante earns its name from the wide, perfectly rounded case profile that delivers a striking yet elegant wrist presence. Crafted in solid 18k rose gold, the case is adorned with a fine clous de Paris pattern around the bezel, a detail that adds both depth and texture to the minimalist design.
The open caseback reveals a beautifully hand-engraved manual-winding movement, a testament to Audemars Piguet’s mastery of traditional watchmaking and artisanal finishing. The engraving, visible through the sapphire crystal, transforms the movement into a work of art as captivating as the watch itself.
Balancing classical proportions with unconventional design cues, the Disco Volante captures the spirit of Audemars Piguet’s pursuit of innovation during the 20th century. With its warm rose gold tones, textured bezel, and display of horological craftsmanship, this reference is both a collector’s treasure and a distinctive statement piece.
The watch is completed with its original 18k rose gold Audemars Piguet buckle, enhancing both collectability and authenticity. Rarely encountered on the market, the Disco Volante is a true representation of AP’s artistry in design and mechanics.
