S.T. Dupont, makers of the world’s most expensive lighter, have come out with an equally luxurious lighter inspired by classic Parisian architecture.

Christened the Place Vendome limited edition Ligne 2 Prestige, this lighter is made from rose gold lighter and is embellished with 192 diamonds.

Defined by its majestic proportions and a strong sense of symmetry it’s one of the most emblematic examples of French 17th century architecture.

In 1810 following his victory at Austerlitz, Napoleon enriched the square by erecting the Vendome Column.

The venerable Parisian luxury goods firm of S.T. Dupont has come out with the world’s most expensive lighter priced at $79,000.

The Ligne 2 Champagne lighter, part of Dupont’s Prestige Collection, is made of solid 18-carat white gold embellished with 468 brilliant-cut diamonds.

Also available is a matching fountain pen also in solid 18-carat white gold with rhodium finished trims and 502 brilliant-cut diamonds for $74,000.
