Caviar’s Exclusive Smartphones for Messi and Ronaldo Showcase Legends in 24-Karat Gold

Few companies turn flagship phones into objects that belong in a display case as much as on a desk. Caviar has spent years refining that balance, and its newest Legends collection takes the approach one step further by centering two of the most recognizable names in football. Timed with the close of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the collection marks what many expect to be the final major international chapter for Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Instead of normal run-of-the-mill products, Caviar created a pair of exceptionally rare handsets that combined the latest smartphones with hand-finished enamel artwork and extensive gold plating. The Messi edition is based on Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra model. The regular rear side is replaced with a detailed portrait of the Argentine captain done in cloisonne enamel in the national team’s white and sky-blue colors, which were chosen for national pride. The jersey number 10, national emblems, and edges of the entire artwork are all fully plated with 24-karat gold. The phone’s frame is likewise encased in matching gold, and just 19 will be created.

The Ronaldo edition begins with the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max as the foundation. You get a cloisonne enamel portrait in the Portuguese national team’s classic red and green colors. The design features Ronaldo’s trademark number 7, the Portuguese coat of arms, and a background with strict, upward lines. The frame and artwork’s distinguishing forms are accented with 24-karat gold plating. It will also be limited to exactly 19 units, like the Messi edition.

Both phones retain all of the normal functions of their base versions. The customization occurs only on the outside, where the enamel and gold transform each smartphone into a portable, or more accurately, carryable piece of commemorative art rather than a normal everyday phone. Caviar doesn’t just give you the phone as part of the package. Along with the handset, you get specially branded packaging, a gold-plated key, a Caviar coin, and a multi-level certificate of authenticity, giving the whole affair some considerable weight. You also get a one-year warranty, and they accept custom orders, which include engraving your initials or logos on the side, modifying the artwork, or even swapping out the materials.

The Ronaldo iPhone 17 Pro with 256GB costs $11,410. The Messi Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra starts at $13,130 for the same storage capacity. Those figures represent the level of craftsmanship that has gone into each and every one of these handsets, the quality of the gold plating, and the fact that you will be one of just 19 people to own any of these limited edition smartphones.
