Just a fraction over the asking price of the plastic iPhone 5c.
If the fingerprint-scanning feature on the iPhone 5s isn't enough to win you over, bling-loving customisation firm Goldgenie has introduced three designs of varying gaudiness.
The 'exclusive' gold iPhone 5s will come in 24-carat gold, rose gold and platinum options, with other designs sporting Swarovski crystals.
But wait, there's more: The SIM-free handsets will each come with a handmade, cherry oak presentation box.
Goldgenie says pre-order demand for jewel-riddled customisations were in before Apple had even confirmed the new devices, with the 5s expected to pass pre-order demand for Samsung's Galaxy S4.
Devices are priced at between £2,137 ($2,820) and £3,130.98 ($4144.63).
Who would by one of these costly devices, you ask? The company says demand has come from the Middle East, India and China.
Laban Roomes, CEO, Goldgenie , said: "This has been the most anticipated iPhone ever. We launched our pre-order page on August 28th 2013 and have since had just over 300 orders for various customised finishes, including a real 24 CT. gold piece.
"Apple continue to innovate iPhone performance from a hardware & usability perspective. With features such as Touch ID and enhanced security in iOS 7, we estimate that this will by far eclipse all other gold iPhone sales we have had to date."
