Patek Philippe 2594 “Disco Volante” Beyer – 1950s
Mid-Century Rarity with Flying Saucer Flair
Nicknamed the “Disco Volante” — or “flying saucer” by Italian collectors — this Patek Philippe Ref. 2594 lives up to its name with a wide, structured bezel and ultra-slim profile that give it a uniquely bold wrist presence.
What truly sets this piece apart, though, is the double-signed cappuccino dial — an exceptionally rare “Beyer” co-signature, a nod to its original retail by the prestigious Zurich watch house. The patina that has gently developed over time only deepens its vintage charm.
Inside beats the manual Caliber 23-300, revered for its elegant proportions and enduring performance — a quintessential Patek Philippe movement from the golden era.
A rare piece of Patek history, wrapped in 18k gold, quietly eccentric and beautifully preserved.
