Caviar has introduced a new line of luxury smartphones based on the iPhone 16 Pro series, featuring a redesigned camera module and body inspired by iconic Swiss watches. Since the iPhone 17 is still some time away, Caviar wanted to offer users a refreshed design that feels bold and distinctive. The new collection, called Corona, showcases the company’s own interpretation of a next-gen iPhone aesthetic, delivering an alternative vision that departs entirely from current leaks or rumors.
The most significant change is the camera module. Instead of Apple’s usual diagonal layout, Caviar has adopted a symmetrical triangular design enclosed within a curved frame. The geometry aims to create a more balanced visual profile while drawing inspiration from the classic symmetry found in high-end Swiss watchmaking. Though unrelated to any existing iPhone 17 prototypes, the design adds a new layer of elegance and sharpness to the familiar iPhone form.
The Corona lineup includes four models. The “Nightwing” takes inspiration from the Patek Philippe Calatrava 6007G and features guilloché engraving that mimics the watch’s dial. The “Tapisserie” draws from the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, using a modernized grid pattern and sharp lines with a titanium and gold finish.
The “Hexagon” is modeled after the Rolex Sea-Dweller and includes bold engravings with a more rugged style. The “Sky Filigree” references the ornate Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon and incorporates baroque engraving and celestial designs.
Each phone uses a PVD-coated titanium chassis and a jewelry-grade alloy rear panel plated in 24-karat gold. The back of the device includes hand-engraved details, giving the phone a finish closer to fine watchmaking than standard smartphone design.
The collection will be available for the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max in limited quantities. Customers can pre-order the models through Caviar’s official website. Each unit is handcrafted and includes options for further customization. Pricing starts at $8,200.
In related news, Caviar has launched its Spiritual Heritage iPhone series, blending smartphone craftsmanship with sacred art, starting at $8,340. The brand has also unveiled a $100,000 iPhone 16 Pro Max inspired by the architecture of Notre Dame.
