International luxury brand Caviar has announced the launch of "Legends," a new limited-edition collection designed to immortalize some of the most iconic figures of our time. The series kicks off with a smartphone duo dedicated to the defining football rivalry of the 21st century: Lionel Messi vs. Cristiano Ronaldo. The brand's designers aimed to capture not only the athletes' historic records but also their contrasting personalities, which have shaped the global sporting landscape for decades.
Each athlete's portrait is handcrafted using the intricate hot cloisonné enamel technique and accented with 24-karat (999-fine) gold plating. The distinction between the two superstars' personalities is highlighted by both the artistic style and the choice of device: the subtle, refined playstyle of the quiet genius Messi is reflected in a sophisticated, folding Samsung Fold 8 finished in serene white and blue tones. Meanwhile, the monumental playing style and iron will of the expressive leader Ronaldo are captured on the backplate of an iPhone, widely regarded as the ultimate symbol of premium tech.
The launch of this unique collection coincides with the upcoming FIFA World Cup final and the release of the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. The tournament holds special significance as it marks the final World Cup where both of these legendary players will compete. Prices for the custom Messi-themed Samsung devices start at $13,130, while the Ronaldo-themed iPhones are priced from $11,410.
The collection is strictly limited, with only 19 pieces available worldwide.
