Luxury customization brand Caviar has unveiled a special edition of the unreleased Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, honoring football icon Lionel Messi. This exclusive model features hand-painted cloisonné enamel artwork depicting Messi in Argentina's national team colors, complemented by 24-karat gold accents. Only 19 units will be produced worldwide, with prices starting at a staggering $13,130 for the 256GB variant.

The Caviar Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is part of the brand's new Legends collection, designed to transform the foldable into a collectible item. The detailed artwork uses the cloisonné enamel technique, and the outlines, Messi's jersey number 10, and frame accents are finished with gold plating. Buyers have the option for further customization, including engravings and design modifications.

This release precedes Samsung's official announcement of its next foldable devices at the Galaxy Unpacked event on July 22. While this special edition offers a glimpse into how luxury brands are anticipating Samsung's flagship, it provides no new information about the base phone's specifications. The Caviar version highlights the demand for exclusivity, even at a premium price point exceeding that of a used car.
