Dhs3.67 million gold-plated car steals the show in Sharjah

The 55th edition of the Watch and Jewellery Middle East Show enters its second day at Expo Centre Sharjah with a dazzling display of exclusive global jewellery designs.

- 

With over 500 exhibitors and leading local and international brands, the exhibition provides a premier venue to explore rare gold pieces, luxury watches, and signature diamond collections, and will continue through June 1, 2025.

Among the highlights of this edition is a gold-plated car presented by Al Romaizan Gold and Jewellery. Nicknamed “Gold-Zilla” for its looks and powerful performance, this extraordinarily rare piece is valued at nearly Dhs3.67 million, offering a unique blend of mechanical power and dynamic artistic innovation.

Based on a 2014 Nissan GT-R, the vehicle is fully covered in intricate 24K gold-plated engravings.

This one-of-a-kind creation was designed by Japan's Kuhl Racing and Japanese artist Taka-hiko Izawa, with the entire body hand-engraved before being finished in gold.

It took over 2,000 hours to complete the detailed work.

The 55th Watch and Jewellery Middle East Show also features a distinguished presence by the Italian pavilion, with a total footprint of 708sqm across the exhibition.

The pavilion hosts nearly 50 exhibitors, including some of Italy’s most renowned companies, brands, and designers in the gold and jewellery industry.
