Luxury brand Caviar has unveiled its latest smartphone customization collection, the “Desperado” series, featuring three weapon-inspired iPhone models that incorporate mechanical elements and premium materials. The collection is available for both Apple‘s current iPhone 16 Pro lineup and the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro series.
Design Details
The flagship model, “Russian Roulette,” features a functional mechanical rotating revolver cylinder embedded in the phone’s rear panel, complete with a single gold cartridge. Users can spin the cylinder mechanism, which Caviar emphasizes poses “zero risk to life.” The device incorporates gold and silver engravings inspired by premium firearm detailing across its titanium body. Production is limited to 19 units worldwide.
The “Die Hard” model showcases a miniature Beretta 92 pistol rendered in bas-relief on the phone’s titanium body. The design includes a walnut wood grip section and aviation-grade titanium construction with specialized engravings. This variant is limited to 20 pieces, matching the magazine capacity of the actual Beretta 92.
Completing the collection is “The Predator,” which features a titanium relief of the survival machete from the 1987 film. The model utilizes black PVD-coated titanium and includes botanical-themed engravings. Like the Russian Roulette model, production is capped at 19 units.
Pricing and Availability
Caviar has announced pricing for both iPhone generations. For the current iPhone 16 Pro series with 128GB storage, The Predator is priced at $8,410, Die Hard at $8,840, and Russian Roulette at $9,990.
The upcoming iPhone 17 Pro variants will command a premium, with The Predator priced at $9,410, Die Hard at $9,845, and the flagship Russian Roulette model at $10,985 for the same 128GB configuration.
The collection is currently available for both the iPhone 16 Pro series and pre-orders for the iPhone 17 Pro variants, which will be ready following Apple’s anticipated September launch.
Each model includes Caviar’s signature packaging with a collectible coin and ceremonial key.
In related news, Caviar has introduced the Altair, a luxury padel racket priced at $8,070 featuring 18K gold accents. The brand has also launched a $49,000 custom iPhone that incorporates an authentic Omega Seamaster watch — the same model worn by James Bond.
