Gamma Perla
The Gamma Perla is an Italian-made 35mm camera from the mid-twentieth century, produced by the Milan firm Gamma. It was sold as a compact rangefinder-style body during a period when several small Italian manufacturers competed alongside German imports in the domestic market.
Auction data for the Gamma Perla is extremely thin: a single recorded UK saleroom result, a Christie's hammer of £587 in 2001, is the only reference point available today. With just one data point, a current value range cannot be reliably derived, and what a Gamma Perla sells for in 2026 will depend heavily on condition, completeness and which specific buyers are active when an example surfaces.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Gamma Perla worth today?
The only recorded UK auction hammer price is £587 from a 2001 Christie's sale; with no further data, a current market value cannot be stated with confidence.
How much does a Gamma Perla sell for at auction?
On the single available data point the Perla sold for £587 at hammer, but one result from 2001 is not a reliable guide to today's price.
Is the Gamma Perla a rare camera?
Public auction records for the Perla are very scarce, which is consistent with a low-production Italian camera that appears in the saleroom only occasionally.
