Rollei 35 Gold
The Rollei 35 Gold is a commemorative variant of the Rollei 35 compact 35mm film camera, finished in gold-coloured trim and produced as a limited collector's edition. It belongs to the long-running Rollei 35 family, a line of small-format viewfinder cameras introduced in the late 1960s and positioned at the premium end of the compact market.
With only a single UK auction record on file, the available data point shows a hammer price of £420 in June 2023 — a wholesale saleroom result excluding commission. On that basis the Rollei 35 Gold appears to sell for around the £420 mark today, though a single result is too thin to define a reliable range, and value is highly sensitive to box, papers and the condition of the gold finish.
