Unless you’ve been living under a rock recently, you know that the United States’ relationship with Russia is pretty rocky. However, Italian luxury brand Caviar may be cashing in with Russian supporters by providing them with a new gold encrusted iPhone 5S featuring a portrait of Vladimir Putin along with the Russian coat of arms and the first line of the Russian national anthem.

Apple first debuted the gold colored iPhone 5S in 2013, which sold out everywhere almost instantaneously. However, Caviar takes its creation to the next level by embellishing it with Putin’s face. The phone will set you back around 147,00 rubles, or about $4,300. The phone has been dubbed “Caviar Supremo Putin."

The best part about the product is its description, suggesting that this phone is the ultimate way to show your patriotism—for the right price, of course. In true Putin style, the portrait in hand engraved and comes in a velvet-lined box.

The company says that Putin has became the symbol of a new generation. Something tells us that this phone may sell out pretty quickly in Russia, whether that's true or not.

Though, they messed up not using this image:
