Just one week after its release, the iPhone 5S has been upgraded by Gold & Co. with limited edition 24 carat gold, rose gold and platinum finishes.
The company, which specializes in embellishing electronic products, has produced 750 individually numbered phones with precious metal-plated backs.
They're launching today with an official unveiling at the World Luxury Expo at Emirates Palace Abu Dhabi.
"We strip the units down and then plate them in copper, nickel and then pure gold," Amjad Ali, owner of Gold & co., told The Independent. "We have limited units per region and each is numbered and placed in a handmade wooden box with a certificate of authenticity and wax seal."
Gold & Co. has previouly made luxury versions of the Blackberry Q10, the iPad and the Sony Xperia 4 Z.
Its gold-plated take on the cheaper iPhone 5 sold for $ 5000 so it's thought these devices will sell for even more.
Beneath the 24 finish, the handset is a standard iPhone 5S which usually costs £549. Apple's iPhone basic 5S colours have seen the aluminium bodied handset as in grey, white and gold as standard.
With the same design as the iPhone, the iPhone 5 5S specs sheet sees 64-bit processor to line up alongside a 4-inch Retina display, new Touch fingerprint ID unlocking and an 8-megapixel rear-mounted camera.
