The story behind this Graff GraffStar
The House of Graff, founded in 1960 by Laurence Graff, is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious signatures in the world of fine jewelry. Nicknamed the "King of Diamonds", the founder got his start in London's Hatton Garden district before conquering the world with legendary stones such as Lesotho Promise and Botswana Blue. This Graff GraffStar "Diamonds" limited edition watch, reference GS38PD, is the horological embodiment of this exceptional heritage. Limited to just 100 pieces worldwide, it stands at the pinnacle of the luxury pyramid, far beyond a simple watch: it is a masterpiece of jewellery art. It represents the absolute excellence of Graff Diamonds, a brand capable of transforming time into light. Unlike a more discreet Graff creation in white gold, this rose gold version asserts a magnetic presence. It is destined for the customer who understands that Graff manipulates precious stones with a unique virtuosity. To wear this GraffStar is to own a piece of the history of the purest gemstones, cut by the same hands that fashioned the house's historic gems.
Case, caliber and bracelet of this GraffStar
The case of this masterpiece is crafted in 18-carat (750/1000) rose gold and measures 38 mm in diameter. That millimeter more or less changes the whole balance of this creation, giving it a perfect opening on the wrist. The bezel is a technical tour de force, dressed in a complex invisible setting of alternating triangular and hexagonal diamonds. The dial is a veritable sea of light, paved entirely with 95 white diamonds arranged in concentric circles, totaling 6.51 carats. The noon index is marked by a sumptuous triangular emerald, reminiscent of the brand's color codes. In all, the watch boasts 239 diamonds and 12 emeralds for a staggering weight of 14.32 carats. The hours are indicated by hour markers set on the flange, alternating princess-cut diamonds and emeralds. The black alligator leather strap offers a striking contrast, but the show continues on the rose gold folding clasp. The latter is set with six rows of emerald-cut diamonds, weighing 3.20 carats: an opulent detail that makes it more precious than many a ring or earring. The Swiss quartz movement ensures flawless reliability, leaving primacy to the eternal brilliance of the gems.
Why this Graff watch
This watch is a rare second-hand opportunity. It is unusual to find pre-owned Graff jewelry or timepieces of this caliber for sale outside of private salons. The intrinsic value of this piece lies in the quality of its stones: Graff selects only the purest stones, among the finest extracted from mines in Lesotho or elsewhere. With over 14 carats of diamonds, it surpasses in prestige a traditional Graff necklace or solitaire ring. The invisible setting is a feat mastered by few workshops, giving the illusion that the metal has disappeared. It's a work of art that perfectly complements an ensemble comprising a Graff ring or other fine jewelry and watches. To acquire this limited edition is to invest in the most respected name in diamonds. It offers an incomparable price-pleasure balance compared to the boutique rate for such a quantity of carats, often reserved for Graff's bespoke jewelry at Place Vendôme.
