Asprey and Bugatti team up to launch luxury NFTs on Bitcoin
The Asprey Bugatti Egg Collection Royale Edition is a collaboration of legends that is sure to catch the eye of luxury connoisseurs. Generative Bitcoin NFTs and precious objet eggs will be released to celebrate the opening of the Asprey Studio Gallery in London.
The limited edition of exclusive luxury physical and digital items is a testament to the heritage and craftsmanship of two renowned luxury brands. Their collaboration, launched in 2022, was inspired by the words of Carlo Bugatti, the father of Bugatti founder Ettore Bugatti:
The purest perfect shape of nature is the egg

Flawless simplicity
The Asprey Bugatti Egg Collection Royale Edition items are crafted using innovative and exclusive materials and technologies. These works of art are intended to be timeless, as they will remain available to humanity indefinitely, thanks to the power of the Bitcoin network.
But why eggs, you might ask? The egg-shaped design of these remarkable items pays homage to Carlo Bugatti's quote, and also bears a striking resemblance to Bugatti's iconic horseshoe-shaped radiator grill, adding a touch of automotive heritage to their aesthetic.
The collection consists of 111 eggs, each standing 16.5 cm tall and measuring 12.5 cm in width, with a base of 12x11.5 cm. The eggs numbered 1 to 100 are crafted from precious metals and carbon, some adorned with multicolored diamonds. The price of these luxurious items ranges from $20,000 to $50,000. The collection also includes 11 eggs that are adorned with diamonds and imperial jade, elevating their value to $200,000 or higher.

Luxury in the physical realm
The precious collectible eggs made of carbon fiber were created by the jewelers of Asprey Studio and stamped by representatives of the London Assay Office. They boast an elegant base that pays homage to the influence of the Art Nouveau era, showcasing perfect proportions that exude timeless elegance.
Each luxurious item is carefully encased in a lattice shell made of sterling silver. The surface of the egg is decorated with elements from Rembrandt Bugatti's sculpture "Dancing Elephant." These elements were meticulously recreated by skilled craftsmen based on a 3D-scanned version of the sculpture that graces the hood of the legendary Bugatti Type 41 Royale.
The diamond door that opens to reveal the symbolic Château Saint-Jean and the stylized silver sculpture of the Bugatti Type 41 Royale is the crowning touch on these exquisite eggs.
These physical works of art will be available in a range of colors, from classic pastel options to bold black carbon.
NFT eggs
The digital elements of the Asprey Bugatti Egg Collection Royale Edition are generative NFTs on the Bitcoin blockchain, created in collaboration with the Web3 company Metagood. Every week, the dynamic image takes on a new form, ultimately returning to the actual shape of the physical precious egg.

Each NFT is provided with a physical item, and minting is scheduled for May 4th. Members of the Asprey Studio Club NFT have priority access to the whitelist.
We are proud to present the Asprey Bugatti Egg Collection, not only does this push the boundaries on a production level, but the generative art - coded by our strategic partner and Bitcoin experts Metagood – using the equation of the egg shape of the actual sculpture as an NFT in Bitcoin is a new form of expression and art itself. The NFT and the sculpture are linked by this equationsaid Ali Walker, the artist and CCO at Asprey Studio.
The Asprey and Bugatti collaboration in the digital realm is not limited to the Asprey Bugatti Egg Collection Royale Edition. In March 2022, they also launched the Asprey Bugatti La Voiture Noire NFT collection, which is linked to physical sculptures of the iconic Type 57 SC Atlantic cars. At the time of writing, the value of these digital works of art starts at 5.13 ETH, and the total market capitalization of the collection is 817 ETH.
