AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

In 1982, on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the Contax brand (1932-1982), Yashica_Kyocera in collaboration with Porsche Design produced a limited run of 100 Contax RTS units plated in 24Kt gold, paired with a Zeiss Planar 50/1,4 also gold-plated, together with the lens cap. The rest was clad in fine snakeskin leather; the specimen in question bears on the bottom the stamp number E-66, i.e., the sixty-sixth of 100; Unfortunately the original case, together with the certificate of authenticity, has been lost, but the authenticity is personally guaranteed; also for this reason the price is reduced; Recently at an auction organized by Leitz a similar specimen was awarded for 1920 euros. The weight including the lens is about 1200 grams; the measurements are, for the body alone, 8x5x3.5. Color gold and beige. The camera is in near-new condition, never used except to evaluate its functionality.
