The legal complications between CustomizeMyPlates, formerly known as Plate Station, and Sony have not stopped Caviar from doing what they do best – creating absurdly expensive / artistic approaches to new consumer electronics.
This time, Caviar is taking the Sony PlayStation 5 and adding 20 kilos of gold to its exterior. Made of eight individual casting sheets, the gold is formed in a textured geometric pattern to mimic the contours of a rock, hence the name “Pedra Dourada”.
The team went so far as to cover the PS5 controller with crocodile leather by adding gold inserts. Although we are not sure about the price or purity of the gold used in the PS5 “Golden Rock”, we know that if the gold were 24K, it would be worth more than a million dollars. Those interested in having this unique PlayStation 5 can go to Caviar for more information.
