Apple is outfitting its retail stores with safes to house its gold Edition Apple Watches, reports 9to5Mac.

The safes will likely be used to carry both to-be-sold inventory as well as to store demo units from the show floor overnight. The custom-designed safes will be outfitted with Apple Watch MagSafe chargers in order to keep the demo units charged up and ready to go for the next day of business. Apple has already begun installing the safes in some stores ahead of the Apple Watch’s expected release

The special sales process for the gold watches is due to its high price. Recent rumors have pegged the price at $4999-$9999. Apple is also working on ways of demonstrate the Apple Watch to customers.
