Costly calendar

To commemorate 15 years of selling ridiculously expensive and unbelievably extravagant gold calendars, jewellery shop Ginza Tanaka has upped the ante even further by producing a poster-sized version. The 1-milimetre-thick offering priced at a truly preposterous 20.06 million yen.

For anyone with more money than sense, the calendar contains 5.5 kilogrammes of solid gold; and for ease of use, weekdays are coloured blue, whilst Sundays and national holidays are resplendent in red.

However as the press release failed to mention it, having an engraver over to make a note of dental appointments and important birthdays will presumably cost extra.
