Luxury customization brand Caviar has unveiled its latest ultra-exclusive collection, dressing the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in titanium, forged carbon fiber, and 24-karat gold. Dubbed the Contrast Edition, this custom flagship series carries a staggering starting price of $7,130 and tops out at $7,840 for elite buyers seeking uncompromised luxury hardware over standard off-the-shelf glass aesthetics.
Created to mark a double milestone - Apple's 50th anniversary alongside Caviar's 15th year in operation - the collection drops conventional back panels in favor of handcrafted metal and exotic composites. Production is strictly limited, with only 50 numbered units available globally for each of the five custom variants.
Five Bespoke Variants Built Around Titanium, Carbon, and Gold
The Contrast Edition lineup splits into distinct aesthetic themes designed to elevate tactile grip and visual intrigue. Entry-level models in the series start at $7,130 for 256GB storage configurations, beginning with Titanium Grey and Black Moon. Titanium Grey matches a muted grey chassis with a brushed black titanium rear insert, while Black Moon pairs a silver titanium plate with a PVD-coated black Apple logo.
For enthusiasts drawn to lightweight composites, Caviar offers two carbon-fiber creations. The Sky Blue variant ($7,130) contrasts a light blue frame with a dark forged-carbon rear section. Meanwhile, the Dark Red edition, priced at $7,410, incorporates rare purple-veined carbon fiber set off by a 24-karat gold Apple logo.
The crown jewel of the Contrast Edition is the Gold Wine model, retailing at $7,840. It replaces standard rear material with a custom jewelry-alloy insert featuring double 999 fine gold plating, set against a deep wine-colored frame.
Standard Flagship Performance Under Bespoke Exterior Armor
While the exterior materials deliver undeniable luxury, Caviar leaves Apple's core hardware untouched. Buyers receive the exact same processing performance, display quality, and camera capabilities found on standard retail units of the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. The financial markup pays exclusively for artisanal metalwork, exotic raw materials, individual serial numbering, and specialized display packaging.
Carrying extra metal plating and high-density carbon composites adds noticeable heft to the device compared to factory weights. These additions may also impact standard magnetic alignment or thermal dissipation during heavy gaming, though collectors investing in Caviar creations typically prioritize craftsmanship and exclusivity over raw thermal efficiency.
Global Availability and Collector Warranty
All five models in Caviar's Contrast Edition are available for direct order through Caviar's official online platform. Each custom device ships worldwide inside a custom luxury presentation chest, complete with a certificate of authenticity and a one-year international warranty supplied directly by Caviar.
