It appears the leaked promotional material for a gold color Lumia, spotted a few days back was indeed correct as Microsoft Mobile has officially taken the wraps off a limited edition Lumia 930 with a gold paint job. The handset is available for sale in China, but is extremely limited in quantities — there are only 3,000 units which are up for grabs.
The gold color Lumia 930 comes with a 2,899 yuan (around $460 US) price tag, which is lower than the usual retail price of the handset. Also included in the bundle is a Car Charger DC-20 and the Nokia DT900 wireless charging pad.

The internals remain the same, there’s a 5-inch display sporting a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels, and a quad-core Snapdragon 800 SoC clocked at 2.2GHz paired with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. Unfortunately, there’s no microSD card slot so you have to live with the available storage space.
