"Caviar has returned with an even more loaded artifact for the second release in this anniversary series. The iPhone 2007 embeds a verified fragment of the original iPhone 2G motherboard into the rear panel of an iPhone 17 Pro, sealed beneath an Apple-logo-shaped capsule, ringed by engravings tracing the circuitry of the phone that launched in January 2007."
"The chassis is titanium with a black PVD coating, and the color story it tells is deliberate. Black and silver, offset logo placement, minimalist engraving: Caviar is visually quoting the 2007 original without cosplaying as a replica, which is the smarter move."
"The motherboard fragment anchors the rear panel at dead center, with circuit-trace engravings fanning outward from it like a schematic that never quite finished rendering. Jobs' signature runs along the frame."
Caviar's Apple 50th anniversary collection has gained rapid popularity, with limited releases selling out quickly. The latest offering, the iPhone 2007, incorporates a verified fragment of the original iPhone 2G motherboard. This unique design features a titanium chassis and engravings that reference the original model. Limited to 11 units, prices range from $10,770 to $12,700, each accompanied by a gold commemorative coin. The design cleverly merges historical significance with modern technology, showcasing the enduring appeal of Apple products.
