iPhone Duo Liquid Metal

The most expensive of the lot at $18,840, this custom iPhone Duo has a sterling silver sculpted build that depicts frozen motion in a mirror finish, which shifts reflection at different angles to enhance the presence of depth in the design. This limited edition piece will have 17 units.

iPhone Duo Jobs

This 50th Anniversary Edition custom iPhone Duo is sculpted in tribute to Apple’s founder Steve Jobs. The rear panel is made of PVD-coated titanium. The frame, upper panel and other decorative elements are crafted from polished titanium and get a “guilloché” engraving.

“Its central feature is a sculptural 3D Apple logo containing a fragment of Steve Jobs’ legendary black turtleneck,” Caviar said. The model also gets an engraved signature of Jobs and can prove a rare collectable for Apple fans. Limited to just 9 pieces, the model starts at $15,560.

iPhone Duo Ultimate (camera-less)

Plus, the Ultimate edition brings a brushed finish on the back and is made of titanium. For added minimalism, this version does not offer cameras for photography and videography. Limited to 19 pieces, this unit will start at $13,990. There is also a Titanium iPhone Duo trim ($13,410) which offers natural crocodile leather in a deep black finish on the rear and gets camera sensors.

iPhone Duo Gold

The Gold iPhone Duo from Caviar gets natural leather, a “carbon-based composite”, and offers a 24K gold-plated titanium body, frame and elements around the camera module. The Apple logo is made from 18K gold. It starts at $15,130.

In the gold trims, there are two more models: Dark Cherry ($13,840) and Karat ($13,700). The Dark Cherry brings the much-hyped cherry colour of the iPhone 18 Pro series to the iPhone Duo with Caviar’s own twist (wine-purple crocodile leather), while the Karat features black leather on the rear. These models get 24K gold-plated decorative elements.

This trim starts from $14,840.
