# Solid-Gold Spacecraft Sculptures Cartier’s Model of the Apollo 11 Lunar Lander is Astronomic By Gil Cohen | Published 2013-03-12 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar-lander References: [bornrich](http://www.bornrich.com/cartiers-solid-gold-lunar-landers-replica-1969-lunar-excursion-module.html) & [gizmodo](http://gizmodo.com/5989423/cartier-gifted-the-apollo-11-astronauts-these-awesome-solid-gold-lunar-landers) Luxury jewelry design house Cartier has created an exact replica of the original Apollo 11 lunar lander that was part of the first successful lunar landing in 1969. Made out of solid gold, this space module may just be equally as expensive as the original NASA spacecraft was, sending it well on its way to one of the world’s most expensive space memorabilia. Even though the exciting times of the first few moon landings are over, space missions and travel still hold a fascination for many people, inspiring the imagination and the desire to discover the unknown that lies in waiting out there. Only three models of this gold edition of the lunar lander were produced by Cartier, and two of them are currently part of highly exclusive private collections. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Ultra Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/ultraluxury) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Luxury Space Memorabilia:** Creating high-value, unique space memorabilia using precious metals and stones for exclusive collectors and enthusiasts. - **Precious-metal Replicas:** Creating intricate replicas of historical objects using precious metals and stones for ornamental or commemorative purposes. - **Ornamental Spacecraft Design:** Creating unique and visually stunning spacecraft designs for collectors, enthusiasts, and industries like film and entertainment. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Luxury Jewelry Design:** Creating high-value, luxury jewelry using precious metals and stones for collectors and enthusiasts. - **Space Memorabilia Collecting:** Specializing in the buying, selling, and auctioning of rare and high-value space memorabilia. - **Film and Entertainment:** Creating visually stunning and realistic spacecraft designs for movies, TV shows, and other entertainment media. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Moon Landing-Themed Watch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moon-walker.md) - [Luxury Solar System Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bejeweled-solar-system-set.md) - [Lunar Dust-Infused Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar1622.md) - [Moondust-Made Minimal Wristwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar1622-watch.md) - [Luxury Space-Themed Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-themed-timepiece.md) - [Nostalgic Space Exploration Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dsky-moonwatch.md) - [Space Vehicle-Inspired Model Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-technic-nasa.md) - [Space-Age Watch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/europa-clipper-exploration-watch.md) - [Space-Inspired Titanium Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spaceone-tellurium.md)
