The priceless Diamond Graff watch that did the business of former Prime Minister Pak Imran Khan

The priceless Diamond Graff watch that did the business of former Prime Minister Pak Imran Khan

 


Maison Graff represents the finest, rarest and only the best stones. And the best controversy. All credit for this controversy goes to former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, whose love for money surpassed the craftsmanship that Graff puts into each of his watches. Graff makes some of the best watches in the world.

Think of the Graff Diamonds hallucination. This watch is considered the most expensive quartz watch in the world. It contains 110 fancy diamonds and took 30 specialists around five years to make. Worth $55 million, it was the personal project of Laurence Graff, founder of Graff and owner of a diamond mine. The project he undertook was to show the world that his house was not to be taken lightly.

There is no such thing as too many diamonds: the Graff Diamonds Hallucination watch

To this day, the Diamonds Hallucination remains in the possession of Laurence Graff. After all, such watches are not meant to be sold.

It's a lesson that Pakistan's disgraced former prime minister also learned, the hard way.

A gift like no other

During Khan's tenure as Prime Minister of Pakistan, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman gave him a gift befitting that of the Saudis. It was a gift box symbolizing the relationship between their two countries. The set contained a ring, cufflinks, a pen…and a diamond Graff watch that left Imran Khan with egg on his face, facing a 14-year prison sentence starting today 'today.

The Toshakhana Graff watch (only one in the world) gifted by Crown Prince MBS to the State of Pakistan, which was sold for $2 million, will be the reason for Imran Khan's disqualification.

What was so special about this watch? The diamond-studded Graff had a Khana-e-Kaaba dial. It is a thing of dazzling beauty whose price you cannot understand. MBS's pledge of goodwill created a lot of ill will towards Khan. These were gifts intended for the Pakistani state. Khan, as guardian of the state, was supposed to guard the gifts the state received. Khan didn't. He sold the watch. You can't sell a unique watch in the world without getting caught. That's what Khan did.

A saga of shame

At the center of this pot of shame is a Dubai-based businessman called Umar Farooq Zahoor.

Zahoor has an affinity for unique watches. He is a watch collector and connoisseur. So he had the idea of ​​owning a piece as unique as the Khana-e-Kaaba Graff watch. Imran Khan, through his wife Bushra Bibi, struck a deal. Zahoor claimed in an interview with Geo News in 2023 that Khan sold him the Graff custom set through an intermediary named Farah Gogi. Gogi was Bushra's closest friend and companion.

How Imran Khan sold me the rare Graff watch in Dubai. I reveal this in my interview with @SaleemKhanSafi for broadcast on Geo News. The role of Farah Gogi, Shahzad Akbar and former First Lady explained and why Shahzad Akbar did false business on me. pic.twitter.com/aldvnU0WEt

For Bushra, the Graff was a watch. A very expensive watch, but just a watch. So, the nuances, details and uniqueness of the Khana-e-Kaaba watch have not yet reached Bushra, and the transfer took place in Dubai. Zahoor apparently paid $12 million for the Graff set.

A man who wouldn't stay silent

After the Graff set came into his possession, Zahoor did not remain silent. He traveled around the city pretending that he was the lucky owner of a unique watch in the world.

So where did it all go down for Khan?

To begin with, the watch did not belong to him.

Second, it was a watch as easily traceable as contrast material in your MRI. It was the only one in the world.

The Saudis were not happy. Mohammed Bin Salman was furious to see the Khana-e-Kaaba being sold for profit. Saudi Arabia's relations with Pakistan were not for sale.

Back in Pakistan, Imran Khan saw his world collapse as the Toshakhana affair took hold of him.

Tale of the Toshakhana

Pakistan's Toshakhana (Treasury) rules state that government officials can keep state gifts as long as they pay for them. But gifts must be dropped off first. The Toshakhana is the department under the Cabinet Division which keeps all state gifts.

According to the rules, Imran Khan was also supposed to have deposited the Graff set, besides several other state gifts he had received, with the Toshakhana. Khan didn't. He didn't even keep the gifts. He sold them, much to the dismay of the states that gave these gifts to Khan. MBS was at the top of this list. Graff was perhaps a close second, seeing himself drawn into this saga of ignominy.

The Graff Galaxy

Graff, a designer of fine jewelry since 1962, is famous to almost everyone in the world. The house prides itself on its showmanship. Their diamonds are undoubtedly the best in the world, straight from the knowledge of the stone by the founding owner of the mine. Most of his fine jewelry collection costs more than $100,000.

L'Etoile de Bombay, acquired by Laurence Graff in 1974

This is the house that once owned the Star of Bombay, one of the most famous jewels of Golconda. Laurence Graff purchased the 47.39-carat stone, “once set in the regalia of a maharaja”, from a European merchant in 1974. Their jewelry adorns the wrists, ears and necks of the world's richest people, then are passed on to auction houses that move the legacy forward.

This is the galaxy Graff slips into. Imran Khan's stars missed out on a few million.
