David Luiz has spent over a million pounds to buy his Chelsea title-winning team-mates, manager Antonio Conte and owner Roman Abramovich unique, ultra-luxury souvenirs of their Premier League triumph.
Luiz, a first-time winner of the English title, splashed the cash for 30 wrist-worn supercar keys that were handed out at Chelsea's Cobham training base on Friday morning.
The bespoke Senturion keys, which will be linked to unlock the champions' hoard of Bentleys, Ferraris and Bugattis, feature a fusion of precious metals and advanced blue carbon fibre composites with each one personally engraved.
The wrist-worn keys, pictured here on Nemanja Matic ,set the Chelsea defender back £1million
Marcos Alonso, along with the rest of the squad, have their names engraved on their keys
And owner Abramovich has an extra-special edition as a thank-you for supplying the funds for the title charge: a key forged from a 4.9 billion-year-old meteorite, older than earth itself.
Senturion, who call their products 'the most unique collectors' item in the world', normally only produce each series of their keys in limited editions of seven but made a special exception for Chelsea star Luiz.
Each key, which bears the appearance of a wristband, can be linked to a range of luxury cars with specialists hooking them up to vehicles' existing encrypted security systems — allowing them to be unlocked wirelessly.
Centre back Luiz, who has been the lynchpin of the champions' three-man defence, has personalised his key to be made with solid 18-carat handcrafted rose gold and 198 black diamonds - linked to his Mercedes AMG G Wagon. On the inside, its engraving reads: 'God is Great, DL'.

Prices for Senturion keys start at £38,000 but bespoke pieces, like those to be worn by Luiz and Abramovich, carry six-figure price tags.
Luiz got the Eurostar back from a short break in Paris on Friday morning to link up with his team-mates before their final league game of the season against Sunderland on Sunday.
Senturion's Director of Communications, Ayla Varquin said: 'It was very generous of David to commission special Senturion pieces for his team-mates.
'While normally we produce editions of only seven pieces, in this case it was our pleasure to create a custom edition of 30 for his Chelsea team-mates.'
