Caviar, a company known for creating luxury modifications of popular electronics, has announced its World Treasures collection. The new line uses Apple’s recently released foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, as its base.
For this collection, Caviar replaces the standard factory casing of the device with high-end materials, including 950 platinum, 18-karat gold, jewelry enamel, and natural diamonds. The internal hardware and specifications of the iPhone Duo remain unchanged.
Design Details
The collection consists of four distinct models, each featuring a design based on different cultural or artistic traditions. The highest-priced model is the Dali, available for $90,290. Its exterior is constructed from 18-karat gold, shaped into asymmetrical, flowing lines intended to reference the surrealist art of Salvador Dalí. The design incorporates violet jewelry enamel between the gold ridges, and the standard Apple logo on the back is recreated using 36 natural diamonds.
Priced at $80,290, the Jingtai Blue model utilizes an 18-karat gold frame to enclose a detailed floral pattern. The back panel is made using multicolored cloisonné enamel against a blue background, a design choice that mimics the traditional Chinese Jingtai Lan enamel techniques developed during the Ming dynasty.
The remaining two models, the Qasr Al Noor and the Omkara, are both priced at $73,000. The Qasr Al Noor model is the only one in the collection to use a 950 platinum body instead of gold. The metal is machined with symmetrical arabesque patterns inspired by Middle Eastern palace architecture.
The Omkara model features an 18-karat gold body centered around an Om symbol. The central medallion uses red jewelry enamel and is framed by 36 diamonds, with lotus flower motifs carved into the surrounding gold relief.
Due to the materials and the hand-finishing required for the metalwork and gem setting, production is strictly limited. Caviar plans to produce only seven units each of the Dali, Omkara, and Qasr Al Noor models.
The Jingtai Blue model will have a slightly larger production run of eight units. Each modified iPhone Duo is delivered in a wood and leather presentation box, which is housed inside a lockable outer case finished with 24-karat gold plating.
In related news, Caviar has recently launched ultra-luxury Black Edition versions of the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo without cameras, along with a premium iPhone 18 Pro collection featuring 24K gold, titanium, and carbon fiber.
