It used to be that the most coveted item in GTA Online was diamonds, a rare treat to anyone taking on the Diamond Casino heist. However, the introduction of the Cayo Perico heist changed all of that with the addition of an even more lucrative target - the panther statue covered in sapphires.
This is undeniably the most coveted heist item in the game, and as you might imagine, it's also extremely rare. If you thought the GTA Online Cayo Perico heist payout was already impressive, wait until you grab the panter statue.
Like the diamonds, Rockstar won't make the panther statue available to heist players all the time. It's a special occurrence for select event weeks when Rockstar feels like rewarding players.
