Bugatti and Asprey NFT Collaboration
Bugatti and Asprey Collaborate on the Most Expensive NFT on the Bitcoin Blockchain
The high-end brands Bugatti and Asprey have teamed up to bring you the most expensive NFT on the Bitcoin Blockchain.
The Asprey Bugatti Egg Collection will be introduced both as a physical object and a generative artwork, with 111 physical eggs linked to Bitcoin NFTs. Similar to the luxury cars that share their name, these eggs will not come at a low price.
Ali Walker, the Chief Creative Officer of Asprey Studio, revealed "The cost for the [Asprey Bugatti] eggs numbered 1-100 will range between $20-50k. [Asprey Bugatti] eggs numbered 100-111 will cost $200,000 and above."
The high price tag reflects the premium materials used to craft the NFTs' physical counterparts. The eggshell of the Royale Edition Collection is composed of carbon fibre, moulded into a flawless egg shape during a long and intricate process. According to Walker, it is enclosed in a sterling silver diamond weave lattice that is delicately angled downwards to a curved base, which embodies movement and echoes Asprey's legacy in jewellery and furniture.
The egg showcases a detailed "dancing elephant" pattern on its surface, which was meticulously reproduced from one of Rembrandt Bugatti's original sculptures. Asprey Studio utilized 3D scanning technology to capture the design from the hood of the Bugatti Type 41 Royale for this project.
The eggshell features a complex hinged diamond door that opens to reveal a scene of the Chateau Saint Jean, the residence of Bugatti in Molsheim, along with a sterling silver stylized Bugatti Type 41 Royale Esders. However, images of the interior of the egg remain under wraps and will not be revealed until after the minting process.
The release is set for the end of April and will coincide with the opening of the Asprey Studio Gallery. Those interested in acquiring the most expensive NFT recorded on the Bitcoin blockchain will have to wait 12 months for its physical counterpart due to the handmade nature of the egg. The NFT will be redeemable through the smart contract within three-to-five months of the mint date.
