Hasselblad 503 CW 'Gold Supreme' (50th Anniversary)
The Hasselblad 503 CW 'Gold Supreme' is a limited-edition commemorative version of the 503 CW medium-format 6x6 film SLR, issued to mark the company's 50th anniversary. It was produced in small numbers as a collector's piece rather than a working tool, finished in gold trim and presented as a set.
Sales data for this 50th Anniversary 'Gold Supreme' set is thin, but the two recorded UK auction hammer results sit between £2,500 and £3,290, with a median around £2,900. As a collector-grade limited edition, its value today is driven far more by completeness of the presentation set and cosmetic condition than by mechanical usability, and prices realised at saleroom level can swing widely between examples.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Hasselblad 503 CW 'Gold Supreme' 50th Anniversary worth today?
Based on two UK auction hammer results, complete sets have sold for between £2,500 and £3,290, giving an indicative value of around £2,900 in 2026, though thin sales data means individual prices can vary.
How much does a 503 CW 'Gold Supreme' sell for at auction?
Recorded hammer prices range from £2,500 to £3,290, with condition of the gold finish and completeness of the commemorative outfit being the main factors that move the price.
Why does the 'Gold Supreme' command a premium over a standard 503 CW?
It was issued as a limited 50th Anniversary edition with gold trim and presentation packaging, so its value reflects collector demand for an unused, complete set rather than the shooting performance of the underlying camera.
