Porsche makes $1 million advent calendar

"Porsche Design has made the world's most expensive and lavish advent calendar.

The near six-foot tall aluminium oblong costs $1,000,000 (£640,000) and contains such luxuries as a new fitted kitchen and a 518bhp yacht. It beats your Dairy Milk calendar.
Only five will be made, and the company will limit supply to one per continent. The 1.75-metre brushed aluminium box has 24 compartments to be opened during the build up to Christmas.

Porsche Design won't reveal the contents of each of the 24 doors, so as not to ruin the surprise for buyers.

However, its highlights are a $225,000 (£140,000) Porsche Design P'6910 Indicator watch, a fully fitted Porsche Design kitchen custom and a $380,000 (£240,000) RFF28 yacht.
At 8.5 metres long, the yacht doesn't quite fit in the box (nor does the kitchen), and its price is only approximate because parts are bespoke. The kitchen is a fully customised installation.

Any item too large to fit into the calendar will be represented by an illuminated aluminium plaque. Other items that do fit include a pair of $3,400 18-carat gold sunglasses and some $7,160 diamond studded cufflinks - both of which make the Adidas Bounce:2 running shoes look an absolute steal at $480.

We also know that there's a limited edition, handmade lambskin jacket in there somewhere, a set of pens and a custom luggage set.
Anyone interested in making their Christmas Day present opening a real anti climax can contact Porsche Design for one of the five."
