Minox LX Gold (Selection)

The Minox LX Gold (Selection) is a subminiature film camera from Minox, the German maker known for its 8×11mm format spy-style cameras. It is a luxury finish of the LX, positioned as a collector-oriented version of the standard model.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the LX Gold (Selection) have ranged from £370 to £550, with a median around £400 — wholesale saleroom results rather than dealer retail. Condition and completeness of original packaging materially affect what one sells for today, and gold-finish variants typically carry a premium over standard LX bodies.
