Apple's gold smartwatch could cost up to $5,000

Rumors have been swirling that Apple's gold smartwatch could cost as much as $5,000, according to senior company sources quoted by a French website.

The Cupertino firm is due to launch the new product line in spring next year, but details over how much each device will cost have been sparse.

Now iGen.fr, which covers Apple developments, says the high-end model with gold plating will set customers back up to $5,000.

However, the stainless steel models will be easier on the wallet, according the site, costing $500.

The site is trusted by many Apple watchers as it correctly predicted the introduction of two iPhone 6 models earlier this year.
