World’s Most Expensive Apple Watch Case Comes Bedecked In Over 400 Diamonds
By Alexa Heah, 25 Aug 2022
After you’ve splashed a chunk of change on a brand-new Apple Watch, what’s next? The world’s most expensive Apple Watch case, of course.
That’s only if you have serious cash to spare, considering Golden Concept’s latest launch will set you back a jaw-dropping US$15,000—device not included.
Well, there’s a reason for the hefty price tag, as the watch case features 443 individual diamonds, each piece taking a “week to handcraft, from carving the titanium body through to setting the diamonds and finishing.”
As such, the brand is only offering seven such cases, available for Apple Watch Series 7 and Series 8 in 41mm and 45mm.
Even more impressively, the entire case—which the company claims is the “world’s first and only Apple Watch case designed with real diamonds”—is completely carved from a single block of titanium.
Admittedly, the bands accompanying the diamond-encrusted case are a little more subtle, though they’re not just made out of regular old rubber but customized Fluoroelastomer that’s heat-, cold-, and chemical-resistant, just in case you’re planning to put your watch through the wringer.
Those hoping to get their hands and wrists on this opulent piece can find out more here, though they’ll have to be ready to wait at least 30 days for the handcrafted case to make its way to them.
