Swedish luxury brand Golden Concept has a history of reapproaching traditional cases for various Apple products with a sense of ostentatious wealth. In a nod to how Apple Watch users to are trying to find creative ways to lift the aesthetics for their wearable, the brand has now launched what is being touted as the world’s most expensive Apple Watch case, set with no less than 443 diamonds and handcrafted from a single block of titanium. Dubbed the Apple Watch Diamond Edition case, the new offering is being made is extremely limited quantity and has already started retailing for Apple Watch Series 7 and the forthcoming Apple Watch Series 8 models.
Only seven of these diamond-encrusted cases will be sold with each priced at $15,000. And yes, while this super expensive Apple Watch case may be just an excessive show of wealth for Apple users who are desperate to find more ways to spend money, it’s actually a solid comment on how digital watch faces could never truly replace a case when it comes to aesthetics.
As the first and probably last Apple Watch case to make use of real diamonds, each Golden Concept Diamond Edition takes at least a week to set and hand finish with all 443 diamonds. And they aren’t skimping on the diamonds either. These are E-colour grade diamonds, with each having a VVS1-2 Clarity rating implying exceptional quality and cut with only some visible inclusions. In total, the weight of all diamonds within the handcrafted titanium Apple Watch case weighs around four carats.

Each Golden Concept Diamond Edition case features a high-quality fluoroelastomer rubber strap that looks like it was inspired by an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. The case itself can be personalised with an engraving on the reverse.
In mentioning the Apple Watch, the Californian company should be announcing full details about all three Apple Watch Series 8 models on Wednesday, September 7 at a special Apple launch event. It’s expected that this will include details about the iPhone 14 lineup as well, with both the new iPhone and Apple Watch products starting to ship around the middle of this month.
As above, only seven of these luxury Apple Watch diamond cases have made been made available. If you’re the type of bloke who’d spend $15,000 to make their wearable look like a luxury watch you can order one of the Diamond Edition through the Golden Concept website.
