An extraordinary luxury highlight is causing a stir in the tech scene just before the end of the year: Apple flagships are being redefined not only technically, but also in gift form. In a strictly limited edition, the Russian premium refiner Caviar packs the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max in a golden surprise egg – including an exclusive luxury smartphone inside. This gives tech enthusiasts, collectors and luxury aficionados a completely new interpretation of the experience of a high-end cell phone.
In a nutshell:
- Only three copies of the Billionaire’s Surprise package available worldwide – extremely limited.
- Packaged in a gold-decorated chocolate surprise egg with an elegant box.
- Contains either an iPhone 17 Pro or iPhone 17 Pro Max from the Caviar Gold Collection.
- Price clearly in the luxury segment, starting at around 12,000 USD, top models up to approx. 80,000 euros.
Luxury design meets technology
Caviar, known for ultra-exclusive versions of current smartphones, combines two worlds here: Luxury and high-end technology. The Billionaire’s Surprise set consists of a high-quality gold-decorated chocolate case, inspired by classic surprise eggs, which looks luxurious and festive from the outside. When opened, it reveals a golden key that leads to a locked box containing the actual device.
The included device is part of Caviar’s Gold Collection: These versions of the iPhone 17 Pro (normal price: € 1,279.00 *) or iPhone 17 Pro Max (normal price: € 1,449.00 *) are equipped with precious materials such as gold, diamonds or other exclusive design elements. Buyers can choose between different variants – including models with diamond ornaments or special logos that are handcrafted accordingly.
Of course, you don’t get a performance boost here. In terms of technology, the device naturally remains an iPhone 17 Pro or Pro Max with all its familiar strengths: a large OLED display, the currently most powerful Apple A Pro series chip architecture, advanced camera systems and long battery runtimes are part of the basic equipment of the flagships.
Price & availability
With the Billionaire’s Surprise iPhone, Caviar is launching one of the most unusual luxury editions of the year. The Billionaire’s Surprise edition is only available on request via Caviar and is not available in stores. Starting prices are around 12,000 US dollars, but can quickly rise into the high five-figure range – depending on the chosen gold or diamond design and model configuration. Top versions are expected to reach almost 80,000 euros.
