Sometimes it’s not the condition that matters it’s the story. These thin, round metal frames once belonged to John Lennon, the face and voice of The Beatles. They sold at auction in 2019 for a jaw-dropping $183,240, despite missing a screw and showing their age. But honestly, who cares about a little wear when you’re holding a piece of rock ‘n’ roll history?

Leave it to Cartier to merge eyewear with high jewelry. Crafted from 18-karat white gold and sprinkled with 561 diamonds, these glasses are a sparkle overload in the best way possible. On each side, a sculpted panther clutches a sapphire-studded sphere. They’re bold, flashy, and unapologetically over the top… exactly what you’d expect from a luxury fashion icon.

Imagine slipping on sunglasses framed in 18-karat yellow gold with a rare 2-carat canary diamond perched on one side. Add 132 more diamonds along the bridge and rim, and arms carved from buffalo horn, and you’ve got a wearable piece of art. The kicker? Only one pair exists. Price tag: $65,000. Exclusivity at its finest.

Because they are. Designed by Maybach, these aviator-style shades are made of 18-karat gold and set with 174 diamonds. Limited to just 50 pieces worldwide, they carry the same aura as the brand’s cars: refined, rare, and reserved for those who don’t need to check the price tag. At $60,000, they’re the ultimate blend of fashion and horsepower-inspired elegance.

In Spectre, Daniel Craig’s James Bond wore Tom Ford sunglasses so effortlessly that fans had to have them. When one of those exact pairs hit auction, it fetched over $30,000 not because of rare gems or precious metals, but because they carried the swagger of 007 himself. Sometimes, style is priceless… but in this case, it had a very real (and very high) number attached.
