Christie’s Paris is set to host one of its most highly anticipated auctions this year, as Angelina Jolie’s iconic Ferrari 250 GT PF Pininfarina Coupé takes centre stage on 20th November. Estimated at €600,000 to €800,000, the rare 1958 model will be one of the highlights of The Exceptional Sale, known for offering extraordinary objects from various categories.
The Ferrari 250 GT, an automotive masterpiece by Ferrari and Pininfarina, has a glamorous provenance, having been owned by one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. Unveiled beneath the iconic glass dome of the Grand Palais 76 years ago, the car’s appearance at auction just steps away from the Grand Palais adds a touch of cinematic history to the occasion.
Angelina Jolie, known for her passion for adventure and high-performance vehicles, brings a unique personal touch to this sale. Her Ferrari is just the latest in a string of Hollywood treasures that have graced Christie’s auctions, including Elizabeth Taylor’s jewels and James Bond’s Aston Martin. Car collectors and film fans alike will find themselves vying for a piece of this legendary fusion of Hollywood glamour and Italian craftsmanship.
The Ferrari 250 GT is a highly sought-after classic, admired not only for its elegance but also for its power. With only 353 examples ever produced, Jolie’s model stands out as the 11th built, adding further rarity and allure to this auction. The car has also made an appearance at the prestigious Concours d’Élégance in Antibes, where its sleek design and perfect proportions captivated onlookers.
This extraordinary vehicle is expected to draw significant interest from collectors worldwide, providing an opportunity to own a piece of both automotive and cinematic history.
