Caviar, the company known for customizing electronics with precious metals, has announced its new Legends collection. Timed with the end of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the lineup features customized versions of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and the current flagship Apple iPhone 17 Pro.
Design Details
The designs are centered around football players Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, replacing the standard glass and metal components with enamel and gold.
The Messi edition uses the unreleased Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. Caviar replaces the standard back panel with a portrait of Messi, his jersey number 10, and Argentine national symbols.
The design uses cloisonne enamel, a metalworking technique where colored glass is fired inside wire enclosures to incorporate the white and light blue colors of the Argentina national team.
The phone’s frame and the outlines of the artwork are plated in 24-karat gold. This model starts at $13,130 for the 256GB version.
The Ronaldo version is based on the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. It uses the same cloisonne enamel method but features the red and green colors of the Portuguese national team.
The back panel shows Ronaldo’s portrait, the number 7, and the Portuguese coat of arms over a geometric background.
It also includes 24-karat gold plating on the frame and design accents. The base 256GB iPhone 17 Pro model starts at $11,410.
Caviar is producing 19 units of each design. The phones come in custom packaging that includes a gold-plated key and a branded coin.
The company also mentioned a custom iPhone Ultra featuring Erling Haaland, which will be fulfilled after Apple‘s expected hardware event in September.
The announcement coincides with the conclusion of the 2026 World Cup, which is anticipated to be the last tournament appearance for both Messi and Ronaldo.
While the iPhone 17 Pro has been available since last year, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is slated to launch next week on July 22nd, making the Samsung version an early pre-order.
