Caviar Unveils $8,200 Luxury iPhone 16 Pro Series Inspired by Iconic Swiss Watches

Luxury brand Caviar has introduced a new lineup of custom iPhones, blending the best of Apple technology with the elegance of Swiss watchmaking. Based on the iPhone 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max, and even the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro series, these hand-crafted devices are built for those who value exclusivity and design. Prices start from $8,060 and go well beyond $30,000, depending on the model and materials used.

Since Apple’s iPhone 17 is still months away, Caviar has created its own version of a next-gen iPhone. Called the Corona Collection, this lineup is based on the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max and features a new camera layout and bold design inspired by Swiss watches. Instead of Apple’s usual diagonal camera setup, these models have a triangular module in a curved frame, offering a cleaner, more symmetrical look — something seen in high-end timepieces.

The collection includes four unique designs:

– Nightwing: Inspired by Patek Philippe Calatrava 6007G, it features detailed engraving that looks like a classic watch dial.

– Tapisserie: Takes cues from the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, with a gold and titanium frame and grid-like patterns.

– Hexagon: Based on the Rolex Sea-Dweller, this version has bold, tool-like engravings and a rugged finish.

– Sky Filigree: Inspired by the Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon, it includes ornate baroque-style details and starry motifs.

Each phone is crafted using PVD-coated titanium, with a 24K gold-plated rear made from jewelry-grade alloy. The engraving is done by hand, giving every unit a watch-like feel. These models are available in limited quantities and can be pre-ordered from Caviar’s official website. Customization options are available, with prices starting at $8,200.

Other Exclusive Collections: Vision Pro, Richard Mille, and More

Caviar has also released several other luxury lines. One of them, the “Future” collection, is inspired by the Apple Vision Pro. These iPhones feature clean curves and orange detailing around the camera area, giving them a space-age look. The base model costs $8,060, while the 1TB version of the iPhone 15 Pro Max is priced at $9,560. Already own an iPhone 15 Pro? You can have it customized by Caviar for $5,910. Only 99 units are available, and cryptocurrency buyers get a 15% discount.

There’s also the “Pair of Kings” collection, influenced by Richard Mille watches. These are based on the iPhone 15 Pro Max and use rare materials like rose gold, carbon fiber, and aviation-grade titanium. One standout model, the Rebel, comes with red carbon accents, skull designs, and a black titanium body, priced at $32,210. Others reflect the styles of the RM UP-01 Ferrari and RM 27-01 Rafael Nadal, capturing the layered, complex structures of those watches.

Taking things even further, Caviar created a model that embeds a real Rolex Daytona watch into the back of an iPhone 14 Pro Max. It even includes golden speedometers and toggles, making it look like a luxury car dashboard. This version can cost up to $134,250 and combines both a phone and a mechanical timepiece into one object of pure luxury.

Planetary Designs and Sacred Art

For fans of space and science, there’s the “Parade of the Planets Golden” collection. Based on the iPhone 16 Pro series, these phones feature meteorite fragments, 18K gold, space-grade titanium, and a working mechanical watch on the back. There’s also an engraved quote from Albert Einstein, adding a thoughtful touch. Prices range from $16,910 to $19,130, depending on storage and finish.

Caviar has also launched the “Spiritual Heritage” series. One highlight is a $100,000 iPhone 16 Pro Max inspired by the architecture of Notre Dame Cathedral. These models blend detailed religious engravings with Caviar’s usual craftsmanship and start at $8,340.

Across all these collections, Caviar has not changed the internal hardware — the phones function just like the standard models from Apple. What makes them different is the extreme attention to design, handcrafted detailing, and use of premium materials like gold, titanium, and even meteorite rock.

Whether it’s a futuristic take on the Vision Pro, a tribute to horology, or a celebration of sacred architecture, these phones offer something more than technology — they are art pieces, collectibles, and status symbols. Starting at $8,200 and reaching well into six figures, Caviar proves that for some, a phone can be much more than just a device.
