Description
Celebrating the 60th anniversary of Goldfinger (1964) the Fabergé x 007 Limited Edition Goldfinger Egg Objet, limited to 50 pieces. This bold creation sits alongside the Fabergé x 007 Egg Safe Locket with Ruby Heart Surprise.
Crafted from 18k yellow gold, this egg objet is inspired by the Fort Knox gold depository safe which was a central part of the Goldfinger film plot. The front of the egg features a six prong safe combination lock, anchored with 007 at the centre. By rotating this lock anticlockwise, two bolts move allowing the safe door to be opened. This style of opening mechanism is a first for Fabergé, and took months of development to perfect. Upon gaining access to the safe a stack of gold bars becomes visible, nestled inside and surrounded by 140 brilliant cut yellow diamonds. The gold bars represent Goldfinger’s passion for gold and are a nod to the film’s title song lyrics, “He loves only gold.” The egg is mounted on an 18k white gold stem set with 16 round brilliant-cut white diamonds, which is fixed to a carved black nephrite jadeite base.
This egg objet is made-to-order, with a lead time of approximately 12 weeks.
