Rollei Rolleiflex 2.8 F Aurum

The Rolleiflex 2.8 F Aurum is a gold-finished special edition of Rollei's 6x6 medium-format twin-lens reflex, built around the 2.8 F platform and using 120 roll film. It was positioned as a collector-oriented commemorative variant rather than a general production model, which shapes how it is priced and valued today.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the 2.8 F Aurum have ranged from roughly £1,400 to £3,200, with a median around £1,800 across the sales on record. The most recent result in 2024 reached £3,000, and in today's market clean, complete examples with original presentation case and accessories sell for noticeably more than plain bodies — condition of the gold plating and leatherette trim is the single biggest swing factor.
