Default Help needed: How many leicas were ever made in gold?

Hi all...

Girlfriend saw someone selling a gold leica. We don't remember the model cause we were rushing, but just want to gather some info as we might give this a second look.

I'm wondering how many leicas were made in gold and what are the chances of finding one? and the going price of course! thanks.. =)

I'm not much a leica fan haha. But of course i won't mind owning one.



thanks and regards,
Phil

hemm.... After much pondering, may be Russian clone me thinks...

Why do you even want a Gold Leica for, if not for collecting?
