Sotheby's Geneva realized a world auction record price for any diamond and any jewel when it sold an exceptionally rare 24.78-carat, VVS2, fancy intense pink diamond of the purest, vibrant hue for $46,158,674 (€34.000.000).  Four bidders competed for the pink diamond, but the winning bid went to  Laurence Graff. Shortly after the sale,  Graff named the diamond "The Graff Pink" and stated:  "It is the most fabulous diamond I've seen in the history of my career and I'm delighted to have bought it."
