Caviar, known for its luxury tech designs, has announced a special "Legends" collection inspired by iconic cinematic characters, based on Samsung’s new foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Z Fold8 Ultra. Crafted with hot cloisonné enamel and 24-karat gold plating, these limited-edition devices themed after Scarface, The Godfather, and Joker reach prices of up to 617,000 TL.
Design Details and Production Limits
Completely redesigning the back panels of standard Galaxy Z Fold8 models, Caviar incorporated traditional jewelry-making techniques into the process. Using the "hot cloisonné enamel" method, colored enamels are applied by hand to wire frames, while the metal frames and camera bumps are plated in 24-karat gold.
Each design in the collection is strictly limited to just 19 units worldwide:
- Scarface (Tony Montana): Built on the standard Z Fold8 chassis, this model features a portrait of Tony Montana in a white suit set against a gold background. It starts at $12,560 (approximately 596,000 TL).
- The Godfather (Don Vito Corleone): Also built on the standard chassis, this model portrays Don Vito Corleone accompanied by the film's iconic puppet string motif and a red rose. Its starting price matches that of the Scarface edition.
- Joker: As the highest-tier device in the series, based on the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, the Joker version depicts the character holding playing cards in a purple, green, and burgundy color palette. This model starts at $12,990 (approximately 617,000 TL).
Industry Implications and Collector Value
Alongside mass-produced smartphones, the ultra-luxury segment catering to personalized and niche markets offers rare examples that combine technology and the art of jewelry. Caviar's move demonstrates how mass-market flagship devices can be transformed into collector's items, while limiting production to just 19 units clearly positions such products as status symbols and investment vehicles.
