Most lavish iPhone ever has a T-Rex tooth, Roman spear and 24k gold built into it – and the price tag is eye-watering
THE most lavish iPhone ever released made from 24k gold, a T-Rex tooth and a Roman spear has been dubbed the “world’s first time machine”.
The bespoke brand of luxury devices, Caviar, have just released a collection of limited edition iPhone 15s, that have been embellished with so many ancient artefacts they belong in a museum.

Caviar describes their creation as an invitation “to embark on a breathtaking journey across 4.5 billion years of time to witness the birth of planet Earth and touch its hidden treasures.”
The bespoke brand says: “In your hands, you hold the world’s first time machine. Caviar has dispatched time explorers to discover the eternity clock.
“This perilous expedition has resulted in the creation of the first time machine, which draws power from five mysterious artifacts.”
Not only does the phone contain remnants from a Megalodon tooth, a T-Rex tooth, and a Mammoth tooth, but it also has parts of a Roman Spear, an 18th-century Swedish bullet, and an especially ancient iPhone 2G.
And as if that wasn’t enough, the modern relic also boasts a fragment of one of the most ancient meteorite to have ever fallen on Earth.
The meteor part, Muonionalusta, is as old as Earth itself.
Caviar has coated the entirety of the body in the purest, 24K gold, and the back is adorned with a magnificent mechanical watch.
The watch functions at a one-minute tourbillon, meaning that it makes a rotation around its axis per minute.
True to the phone’s grand, classical aesthetic, the watch features manual winding, and 19 jewels.
The company has only made three of these artefacts, and are selling them at an eye-wateringly high price of £85,775.
This, however, is somewhat of a bargain compared to the limited edition customisation of the iPhone 14 that Caviar released last year.
In November 2022, they released the phone with a yellow gold Rolex Cosmograph studded with eight diamonds.
The watch was cast in 18K gold alongside a series of decorative dials and switches.
The body of the phone was made of titanium coated with black PVD coating.
Caviar intended to design the phone like racing cars from the 1930s, with the decorative speedometers and switches meant to look like the dashboard of a supercar.
All of which came in at a whopping total of £121,000.
