Nokia in talks to sell Vertu to Permira - FT.com

Permira is in discussions to acquire Vertu in a deal that will raise about €200m for Nokia, which is better known for its once-dominant mass market phone ranges. It would add to the private equity firm’s portfolio of luxury and tech brands such as Hugo Boss and Valentino.

UK-based Vertu is an independently managed luxury subsidiary launched by Nokia in 1998 to tap into growing demand among the world’s wealthy for a status symbol to match similarly upmarket watches or wallets. The phones are made by hand, and can cost more than £200,000 due to the precious metal components.
