Guests at Hong Kong Disneyland can now catch a glimpse of the resort’s newest, most valuable collectible item thanks to the launch of a first- of-its-kind pure gold replica of the Castle of Magical Dreams, in collaboration with Parks alliance partner CHOW TAI FOOK. Valued at around HK$16 million, this beautiful piece of craftsmanship at “Enchanted Treasures – Presented by CHOW TAI FOOK” has been specially created to celebrate the first anniversary of this castle’s bespoke jewelry store.
The Pure Gold Castle was unveiled today during a ceremony, alongside a new series of Disney Princesses and Queens jewelry was also launched. It was crafted by the artisans from CHOW TAI FOOK, who are appointed as the “Royal Jewelers” for the castle’s keepsakes and treasures. Two years in the crafting and detailed measuring, the 85cm-high Pure Gold Castle is guaranteed to be a new photo spot for some glamorous shots. What’s more, the first owner of the Pure Gold Castle will be rewarded with a lifetime free admission pass to Hong Kong Disneyland! Details to be provided at a later date.
“CHOW TAI FOOK has been working closely with Hong Kong Disneyland Resort as an operating participant and Parks alliance partner, producing exclusive products that have been well-received by our guests ever since the opening of our Enchanted Treasures store,” said Tim Sypko, Senior Vice President of Operations at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort.
Two years of meticulous craftsmanship to outline every detail
The Pure Gold Castle uses the Castle of Magical Dreams as a design blueprint, with both perfectly complementing one another. The design and crafting process for this one of a kind collectable was not simple, with every pattern, texture and icon of each tower being different. This meant that every process required a lot of time and effort to depict each of these details. From Aurora’s crown at the top of the tower, to Cinderella’s pumpkin coach and Belle’s enchanted rose, each finial has been perfectly recreated in astounding detail.
A team of over 50 professionals spent a total of 42,248 hours to create the Pure Gold Castle, which was built with a ratio of 1:60. It measures in at 85cm (height) x 61.6cm (length) x 44cm (width), with a
pure gold content as high as 8,692 grams (approximately 232 taels). The current valuation of the gold castle stands at around HK$16 million, making it a must-visit spot for guests.
