Caviar, known for its custom luxury devices, is back with another customized device. We are talking about the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate tri-folding smartphone, which was launched in China earlier this month in black and red colors and has a base price of CNY19,999 ($2,850/€2,555).

Caviar’s customized Huawei Mate XT Ultimate is part of its Rich Colors collection and has two variants – Black Dragon and Gold Dragon.

The Black Dragon model is inspired by the Xuanlong Dragon of Chinese mythology and is wrapped in black crocodile leather, which resembles the Xuanlong Dragon’s scales. It also has gold plated details.

The Gold Dragon model, on the other hand, is completely covered in 24k gold, whose surface bears the texture of imperial swords crafted in the Chinese city of Longquan – a place where the Chinese art of multi-layer sword forging originated.

Caviar says it will make 88 units of both versions because 88 is considered a lucky number in Chinese culture.

Both models come in 256GB, 512GB and 1TB storage options. The Black Dragon editions are priced at $12,770, $13,200 and $13,630 respectively, while the Gold Dragon models are priced at $14,500, $14,930 and $15,360 respectively.
