Details may be scant, but one thing’s clear: these Royal Thai Gold M10-P kits are some of the most exclusive Leicas in the world. Both kits have essential external parts of the cameras and lenses coated with a layer of real gold, adding a luxurious touch that is unparalleled. The yellow model includes gold-plated Summicron 50/2 ASPH and Summilux 35/1.4 ASPH lenses, offering high-quality optics renowned for their sharpness and beautiful bokeh. Meanwhile, a green kit includes only the former, making it slightly more understated yet equally impressive.
These cameras were created in collaboration with Thai Beverage to honor the coronation of Thailand’s King Maha Vajiralongkorn, also known as King Rama X. They arrive in exotic wooden presentation cases that exude elegance and sophistication, complete with certificates of authenticity to assure their genuine exclusivity. Limited to just 20 green and 10 yellow sets, these kits are incredibly rare and highly sought after by collectors and photography enthusiasts alike. Pricing and availability information has yet to be announced, but one can expect these remarkable pieces to command a premium due to their rarity and craftsmanship.
