But the main point that had everyone talking is the price of the Apple Watch Edition. It starts at a whopping USD10,000 (RM37,000) and can reach as high as USD17,000 (RM63,000).
Why the crazy price? The watch is made out of "Apple Gold", a process that makes it stronger than a regular 18 karat gold.

If that isn't enough, you can actually take things one step further by purchasing a 24-karat, diamond encrusted Apple Watch by Brikk for a price tag of "just" USD75,000 (RM277,000)
Sounds good, eh?
