In the realm of luxury tech, where cutting-edge innovation meets extravagant design, Caviar has once again redefined opulence. The luxury customization brand has unveiled an exclusive version of the Huawei Mate XT smartphone, constructed entirely from 18K gold and weighing nearly a kilogram (2.2 pounds). Priced at an eye-watering $100,000, this one-off piece was commissioned by a mystery, super-rich client from the US.
Unlike the company’s earlier releases, such as the 24K gold-plated “Gold Dragon” Mate XT, this model is crafted entirely from solid gold. The 24K version, with its intricate dragon-inspired design, paid homage to the ancient Chinese art of multi-layered steel forging, originating in Longquan as early as the 12th century BCE.
However, this new 18K solid gold iteration elevates customization to a new level. The off-catalog device is custom-made and unavailable for direct purchase on Caviar’s website, emphasizing its exclusivity. The weight and density of the solid gold model contribute to its substantial price and underscore its uniqueness. This bespoke offering is tailored for discerning client who demands nothing less than the best in both design and exclusivity.
While the 18K gold Huawei Mate XT is a standout in Caviar’s portfolio, the company is no stranger to creating bespoke luxury devices. From gold and titanium-clad versions of the Huawei Mate X6 and Mate 70 RS to the most expensive iPhone 16 Pro Max, which starts at around $300,000, Caviar continues to push the boundaries of over-the-top customization in the luxury tech market.
