Bonhams, one of the largest auctioneers of fine art and antiques, has broken the auction world record for an Exceptional Leica Luxus 1 camera that sold for nearly $1 million in the first Leica sale in Hong Kong.

The Luxus cameras were produced in small numbers on special order between 1929 and 1930, with serial numbers between 28692 and 68834. Only 95 units were produced, and far fewer are known to exist today.
