Hermès Birkin 35 Bleu Roi Shiny Porosus Crocodile 18K White Gold Diamond Hardware This is the highest hardware specification Hermès applies to the Birkin format. The standard Palladium or Gold fittings are replaced entirely with 18K White Gold components set with diamonds across the lock plate, tournante, and sangle hardware. These are not decorative overlays: each hardware element is fabricated by the Hermès jewelry atelier as a separate commission from the leather goods production, requiring dual allocation from two distinct workshops before the bag can be assembled. Bleu Roi is a deep, saturated royal blue, richer than Bleu Saphir and more vivid than Bleu de Malte. Porosus crocodile carries the tightest, most symmetrical scale pattern of the crocodilian skins Hermès uses, and the shiny finish, achieved through agate stone buffing, produces a lacquer-like gloss that amplifies the blue pigment to its maximum depth. Under direct light the scales shift between deep sapphire and near-black depending on angle, the polished tile surface acting as a color lens. The diamond hardware reads as white fire against this ground, cool bright points set into cool metal against saturated blue, while tonal stitching disappears into the scale lines. Condition: 2 – Excellent Stamp: P □ (2012) Color: Bleu Roi Leather: Shiny Porosus Crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) Hardware: 18K White Gold, Diamonds Interior: Chèvre Includes: Full set, CITES Dimensions: 35 × 25 × 18 cm | 13.8" W × 9.8" H × 7.1" D Handle Drop: 11 cm | 4.3" Collector's Insight: Diamond hardware Birkins sit one tier below the Sac Bijou pieces and represent the apex of the standard Birkin production hierarchy. They are not available through normal boutique allocation: the client must hold an established exotic purchase history and receive a separate invitation from the jewelry division. Hermès does not publish production numbers, but market evidence suggests only a handful of diamond hardware Birkins are produced in any colorway per year globally. Bleu Roi on Shiny Porosus is itself a restricted specification; adding 18K White Gold diamond fittings creates a piece where every component required its own independent allocation approval. Resale Insight: Diamond hardware Birkins in Shiny Porosus occupy the top of the standard Birkin secondary market, surpassed only by full High Jewelry pieces and one-of-one commissions. They are not priced against standard exotic Birkins; they trade in a category where auction records serve as the primary reference points. Bleu Roi is among the most pursued jewel tones because its saturation on shiny Porosus produces a visual intensity neutral exotics cannot match, and excellent condition on a shiny crocodile piece of this age with the jewelry-grade hardware intact indicates careful, climate-controlled storage.
