Gucci ‘Disco Volante’ 18k Yellow Gold with Box and Papers circa 1980’s

This Gucci ‘Disco Volante’ is a beautifully preserved example of one of the brand’s most elegant and distinctive designs from the 1980’s. The nickname Disco Volante, meaning ‘flying saucer’, is used by Italian collectors to describe watches with this smooth, perfectly rounded case shape without visible lugs — a pure sculpture that wears effortlessly on the wrist.

The solid 18k yellow-gold case gives the watch a luxurious presence, while the finely executed machined guilloché dial showcases the level of craftsmanship Gucci employed during an era when their watchmaking was highly respected. The detailed, multi-layered dial paired with Roman numerals creates a look that is both refined and unmistakably vintage.

This example was originally purchased from Ciacci, a high-end jeweller in the historic centre of San Marino — a place renowned for its long-standing jewellery traditions. Found as part of Ciacci’s preserved old stock, the watch remains in near-new, unworn condition and comes as a complete full set including its box, papers, strap, buckle and hang tag. Its overall quality and design language are closely comparable to Cartier pieces from the same period, yet far rarer in solid 18k gold.

A superb opportunity to acquire a near-NOS 1980s luxury design object from an era of exceptional aesthetic sensibility.
