Graff Diamonds Hallucination, The $55 Million Quartz Watch
At first glance, one could hardly spot anything really tentative about Graff Diamonds' first appearance at Baselworld earlier this year.?The booth, 503 square meters upon a single elevated space, was designed by Graff's Monaco-based interior design team in the likeness of a Graff Boutique.

I'm going to be 40 in a few weeks and I wanna reach this milestone with this incredible watch.After praying to the Gods of Patek, aka, M
