If you need a solid gold smartphone to go with your Apple Watch Edition, look no further than HTC’s limited edition One M9.

Made out of 24-karat gold, the one-of-a-kind handset has been made to celebrate this weekend’s UEFA Champions League final — and it was photographed with an iPhone.

The gold One M9 is identical to the original on the inside, so you get the same 5-inch 1080p display, Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 810 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, and HTC’s new 20-megapixel camera.

But you won’t actually be able to buy this device; HTC has made just one of them, and it will given away to the lucky winner of its Golden Ticket competition (look out for it on eBay over the next couple of weeks).

Unfortunately, the One M9 isn’t compatible with the Apple Watch Edition, which is strictly for iPhones only. But it would make a very good companion. The Watch Edition is made out of 18-karat gold, and starts at a whopping $10,000.

And while we’re on the subject of Apple products, if you take a close look at the images HTC uploaded to its official Twitter account, you’ll notice it was taken with an iPhone.
