For sale is a captivating and highly collectible vintage Dufonte by Lucien Piccard, featuring the sought-after "Disco Volante" case design. As the vintage watch market experiences a massive resurgence of interest in unconventional and avant-garde shapes from the 1960s and 1970s, this architectural beauty offers an incredible opportunity to own a piece of retro-futuristic horology.
Translating to "Flying Saucer" in Italian, the Disco Volante nickname perfectly captures this timepiece's perfectly round, radially brushed case and hidden lugs. Because the strap attaches underneath the substantial bezel, the watch appears to hover elegantly on the wrist. The true star of this piece, however, is its striking "bullseye" sector dial. Alternating between deep blue and brushed silver, the dial delivers a retro roulette-wheel aesthetic, smartly complemented by simple baton hands that do not distract from the geometry. The dial features a practical date window at 3 o'clock and is proudly stamped with the Dufonte swirl logo alongside the initials "LP," denoting its heritage as a reliable, Swiss-made line from the esteemed watchmaker Lucien Piccard.
