Luxury brand Asprey and automobile-making giant Bugatti have joined forces to launch an NFT collection as part of their one-year-long partnership. The centerpiece of the collection is an exquisite egg which was inspired by Bugatti's ancestor Carlo's connotation that the purest perfect shape of nature is the egg. 

The Asprey Bugatti Egg collection will feature 111  "precious objects" that will be available as physical eggs linked to Bitcoin NFTs. The piece has been created during a long and complex process to make it truly refined. The eggshell of the collectible has been carefully crafted from carbon fiber to form it into a perfectly shaped egg. Besides, it’s encased within a "sterling silver diamond weave lattice” and angled a bit downwards to a curved base that portrays Asprey's legacy as a jewelry brand. The seat also echoes Carlo Bugatti's exploration of furniture-making in an Art Nouveau style. 

The surface of the egg itself displays a ‘Dancing Elephant’ motif, which was recreated from one of the original sculptures by Carlo's son, Rembrandt Bugatti. The dancing elephant was embellished on the bonnet of the 1927-created luxury automobile, Bugatti Type 41 Royale. To keep a precise design of the motif, the Asprey Studio traveled to the home of Bugatti in France to scan the bonnet and then accurately recreate the sculpture. 

The attention paid to details on the limited edition reflects its mint price. Asprey Bugatti Eggs 1-100 will sell for $20,000 to $50,000, while 101-111 will go for $200,000 and above. This makes the collection the most expensive NFTs to be minted using the Bitcoin Ordinal technology. 

Collectors of the art pieces will be entitled to a physical version to be delivered within a year from the order request. The digital version, on the other hand, will be reflected in the holder's wallet within three to five months from the mint date.

The collection is to be released at the end of April 2023, which coincides with the opening of Asprey Studio Gallery. 

Mark your calendars and don’t miss a chance to grab a timeless creation reflecting the Bugatti family and Asprey’s heritage and craftsmanship!
