Rolex Disco Volante reference 9522 with salmon dial

1961 | Yellow gold | Manual | 36.0mm

Sale price€7.900,00

Collectors call it the “Disco Volante”, the flying saucer. Of all the dress watches Rolex made in the 1960s, the reference 9522 in this version is probably the most striking: a wide, rounded case with no lugs at all, the strap simply disappearing underneath. It looks nothing like what most people picture when they hear the word Rolex, and that is precisely its charm.

The 36mm yellow gold case is framed by a radiating engraved bezel, and the salmon dial is kept as clean as possible: applied gold crown, “Rolex Precision” in black, gold dauphine hands and a small seconds at six with a fine cross. It is powered by the manual-wind calibre 1000. The watch is in outstanding condition and comes on a black leather strap with its Rolex buckle.

A salmon dial, a gold saucer and a crown. Few Rolex watches have this much personality.

Rolex

Founded in 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf in London, Rolex quickly became a leader in watchmaking, renowned for its innovations, such as the Oyster, the world’s first waterproof wristwatch, and the Perpetual movement, which introduced self-winding technology. Famous collections like the Submariner, Daytona, and Datejust have solidified Rolex as a symbol of luxury and precision, worn by explorers, athletes, and professionals worldwide.

Over the years, Rolex has become synonymous with quality and reliability, often seen as a benchmark for fine watchmaking. The brand’s attention to detail and mastery of engineering have made Rolex watches highly coveted by collectors. Rolex has also been a pioneering force in the development of professional tools for specific activities, such as diving, aviation, and motorsports, establishing a legacy that endures to this day.
