A Hong Kong business man identified only as "Joe" commissioned craftsman Stuart Hughes of Liverpool, according to Phones Review.
A rare 26 carat black diamond worth $14.5 million is used for the 'Home' button. And, according to Hughes' website, this iPhone includes a full solid gold dressing, 600 flawless white diamonds, 53 of which make up the Apple logo on the back.
Other elements of the iPhone 5 Black Diamond include the use of Sapphire Glass, even stronger than Corning Gorilla Glass 2 and in total 135g of 24 carat gold was used, according to CNN.
Hughes took around 9 weeks to hand make this luxury edition iPhone, CNN reported.
One of the most recent was the Solid Gold iPhone 5 Edition that comes in at $33,000 and the iPad 2 Gold History Edition with a genuine 65-million year old piece of T-Rex bone at a cool $7.5 million.
