Assuming you have around $44,000 lying around I pose you a question: would you use that massive amount of money to buy a BMW entry-level luxury sedan or an exquisite turntable designed by Pierre Riffaud for Saint Laurent? The right answer would be the turntable as this one-of-a-kind collectible is a thing ideal for those who have a taste for the finer things in life. Pierre Riffaud’s vinyl table is part of the Rive Droite collection, the address for Saint Laurent’s most opulent non-clothing offerings which includes a $25,925 art book, an $8,840 set of Zai Skis and a $3,025 skateboard covered entirely in gold leaf earlier. This latest Objet d’art by Saint Laurent is handcrafted out of marble and is complete with handmade components, making for an incredibly precise piece of musical equipment. Pierre Riffaud has been designing turntables for his discerning, music-obsessed clientele since 1984 and knows exactly what he is doing. That’s why the extravagant Saint Laurent Rive Droite x Pierre Riffaud vinyl table is an audiophile’s dream. As turntables do, this beauty of a turntable also works in manual mode pretty much like its cheaper vinyl counterparts.
Built atop a grand marble base, each piece of the turntable is handmade to ensure the perfect balance and precision which will set you back by almost $44,000 along with the added expense of a trip to Paris as the device is exclusively available at the Paris Saint Laurent Rive Droite store.
