Even before the Earth took the form we know, this metallic mass already existed. Forged nearly 4.5 billion years ago in the heart of an asteroid, it drifted in the silence of space before igniting as it passed through our atmosphere and crashing down, several millennia ago, on a vast plain between Argentina and Paraguay.

This fragment of the Campo del Cielo meteorite, weighing 6.450 kg, still bears the marks of its fall and the passage of time on its surface. Hollows, rough edges, dark reflections of iron and nickel… each detail tells the story of a journey far older than any human memory.

Long held in a Parisian collection, this piece has now traversed the centuries to join Paul Bert Serpette, thus becoming the oldest object offered on the market. At once a natural sculpture and a cosmic relic, it reminds us of our minute yet real connection with the universe, and invites us to contemplate not only the history of the Earth, but also that of time itself.
