You partnered with Bugatti to design and create a limited edition series of mechanical belt buckles . The pinnacle piece of that collaboration , the Roland Iten R60 , currently the most expensive belt in the world , comprising a 60.66 Carat golconda diamond . What brought Roland Iten and Bugatti together .

A Bugatti client is a Roland Iten client and vice versa . We have the same discerning clientele who seek the best of the best and don ’ t want to be defined by a brand . Our limited editon , highly exclusive pieces satisfy the need of UHNWI ’ s for individuality , rarity and discretion .

Consisting of 387 baguette-cut and round-cut diamonds equaling 14.15 Carats , the r822 predator is the second most expensive belt buckle in the world . Please share with us more about the Roland Iten r822 ?

One of my clients wanted to offer a unique gift to a head of state . He is an admirer of the r822 collection and the bugatti collection , so I created a unique belt buckle collection of only five pieces which combined the r22 Bugatti and r8 collections and were full set with baguette diamonds . The first two pieces went to the client one for him and one for the head of state . Another two pieces have hence been sold to private individuals . One piece remains for a lucky bidder but as it is the last piece , the price is a bit different !
