Awain specializes in creating jewel-encrusted keys for the world's most expensive vehicles, and the Phantom is its ultimate creation at a price of 500,000 euros ($563,361 at current exchange rates) That figure is not a typo, either. This is a key that costs more than a Lamborghini Aventador SVJ with a base price of $517,770.
