Hasselblad 503 CX 'Golden Blue' (50th Anniversary)
The Hasselblad 503 CX 'Golden Blue' is a commemorative variant of the 503 CX medium-format film SLR, produced to mark Hasselblad's 50th anniversary. Like the standard 503 CX, it is a 6x6 V-System body using 120 roll film, but distinguished by gold-plated fittings and blue leatherette covering, and sold as a limited collector's edition rather than a working tool.
Sales data for this anniversary edition is extremely thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result from 2005 stands at £2,900, reflecting wholesale saleroom level rather than dealer retail. With only one data point, it is difficult to say what a 'Golden Blue' is reliably worth today in 2026, and a current sale could land materially above or below that figure depending on completeness of the presentation set, condition of the gold plating and blue covering, and the strength of the collector market on the day. Buyers should treat any single price as indicative only.
