Luxury smartphone customizer Caviar has outdone itself with a new creation: an 18k gold Huawei Mate XT Ultimate, priced at a staggering $100,000. This exclusive device, commissioned by a private client in the US, takes the already luxurious Mate XT Ultimate to new heights of opulence.
This isn’t simply a gold-plated phone; the entire body is crafted from solid 18k gold, giving it a substantial weight of approximately two pounds. This bespoke creation is not available for purchase on Caviar’s website, highlighting its exclusivity.
For those with a slightly smaller budget, Caviar also offers a 24k gold-plated version of the Mate XT Ultimate, priced at around $17,000. Limited to 88 pieces, a number considered lucky in Chinese culture, this version is still a significant investment.
The Huawei Mate XT Ultimate itself is a foldable phone originally launched exclusively in China. Known for its lightweight design and innovative features, it is expected to see an international release in early 2025.
Caviar’s extravagant creations cater to a niche market where luxury and exclusivity are paramount. These devices are often seen as status symbols and collector’s items, appealing to those who demand the best and are willing to pay a premium for it.
While such high-priced smartphones may be out of reach for most, they offer a glimpse into the world where technology and luxury intersect. Caviar’s 18k gold Huawei Mate XT Ultimate serves as a testament to the company’s craftsmanship and its ability to cater to the most discerning clientele.
