1958 Patek Philippe Platinum Disco Volante - Gay Freres Brick Bracelet (Ref. 2594)

History and Significance
Introduced in the 1950s, the reference 2594 represents one of Patek Philippe’s most distinctive Calatrava designs. The case features a wide, flat bezel that collectors have come to nickname the “Disco Volante,” or “flying saucer,” for its elegant, disc-like proportions.
Most 2594 examples were produced in yellow or rose gold. Platinum was reserved for only a handful of watches, making this example among the rarest configurations ever produced. The fact that it retains its original platinum brick bracelet, confirmed by the Patek Philippe Archives, makes it nearly one-of-one in the market.
The 2594 embodies everything that makes mid-century Patek Philippe so desirable: clean design, perfect proportions, and timeless restraint. It is both minimalist and luxurious, understated yet unmatched in craftsmanship.
Writer’s Thoughts
Finding a platinum 2594 is remarkable enough, but seeing one on its original Patek Philippe brick bracelet is extraordinary. The bracelet’s craftsmanship is exceptional, with an almost fluid feel on the wrist. The Disco Volante case adds sculptural dimension and charm, giving the watch a presence that is refined yet bold. This is the kind of piece that defines collecting at the highest level.
Our Promise
Every watch is thoroughly vetted, carefully described with complete transparency, and guaranteed authentic. Each piece is offered in honest condition, ensuring collectors receive a timepiece that reflects both originality and integrity.
