Asprey Studio and Bugatti teamed up with Web3 company Metagood to reveal their new physical “objet” and generative artwork NFT collection on the Bitcoin blockchain!
In detail, the Asprey Bugatti Egg Royale Edition phygital collab represents the next evolution of a partnership between the two luxury brands. It blends the timeless artistry of the luxury car family with high-end Asprey craftsmanship.
Ali Walker, Chief Creative Officer at Asprey Studio, said the following: “We are proud to present the Asprey Bugatti Egg Collection, not only does this push the boundaries on a production level, but the generative art – coded by our strategic partner and Bitcoin experts Metagood – using the equation of the egg shape of the actual sculpture as an NFT in Bitcoin is a new form of expression and art itself. The NFT and the sculpture are linked by this equation.”
The Asprey Bugatti Egg Collection launched by BUGATTI and Asprey Studio will be created both as a physical objet and NFT generative artwork in Bitcoin.

This is the first time these two companies opt to use state-of-the-art technology such as Bitcoin ordinals inscriptions. It’s worth noting that this was a good year for Bitcoin (BTC) as it has risen roughly 70% so far. Significantly, the Bitcoin NFT market is expected to grow to a value of $4.5 billion by 2025 according to Galaxy Research.
Now, without further ado, let’s discuss the Asprey Buggatii Egg collection aka the most splashy NFT project on Bitcoin to date!
The Asprey Bugatti Egg Collection
How many Eggs are there?
111 physical eggs linked to Bitcoin NFTs.
How much for the Bitcoin-based Asprey Bugatti Eggs?
According to CCO of Asprey Studio Ali Walker, these eggs won’t come cheap. The prices are as follows:
- Eggs number 1-100 will be between $20-50k.
- Eggs number 100-111 will be $200,000 upwards.
What is the Egg made up of?
The eggshell of the Royale Edition of the Asprey Bugatti Egg Collection is made from carbon fiber and formed into the perfect egg shape during a long and complex process.
Furthermore, a sterling silver diamond weave lattice encases the egg. And it is gently angled downwards to a curved base portraying movement and echoing Asprey’s heritage in jewelry and furniture. Fancy.
The surface of the Asprey Bugatti Bitcoin-based egg displays a “Dancing Elephant” motif, recreated in perfect detail from one of Rembrandt Bugatti’s original sculptures. It was this work of art that adorned the bonnet of the Bugatti Type 41 Royale, renowned as the most luxurious car ever created.
Images on the inside of the egg won’t be revealed until post-mint. Basically, the eggshell opens with a complex hinged Asprey diamond door to reveal a scene of the Chateau Saint Jean – the iconic home of Bugatti in Molsheim – in front of which is sterling silver stylized Bugatti Type 41 Royale Esders, removable should the owner wish.
Release Date of Asprey Bugatti Collab on Bitcoin
The launch date will coincide with the opening of Asprey Studio Gallery in Mayfair in April 2023.
You can redeem the NFT via the smart contract within three-to-five months of the mint date. As for the hand-crafted nature of the egg, it may take up to 12 months to deliver.
