In a major turn of events, the currently famous Graff wristwatch was originally sold for $250,000 three years ago, which is a stark contradiction to what Umar Farooq Zahoor has claimed to pay.
To clarify, millionaire businessman Umar Farooq Zahoor has recently stirred a controversy in Pakistan by claiming that he bought a Graff wristwatch originally gifted to Imran Khan by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman for 7.5 million Dirhams in cash or equal to $ 2 million dollars.
As per the latest developments, the Dubai-based luxury watch sellers Style Out Watches have apparently uploaded a video where they claimed that the watch is one of a kind and was sold by them in 2019 for $250 000.

The sellers also expressed their confusion at why the watch has suddenly become so popular. Perhaps they are unaware of the political hype surrounding the watch back in Pakistan. Nevertheless, the video of the watch sellers has gone viral as PTI leaders and supporters of Chairman and former Prime Minister Imran Khan claim the watch sellers have exposed Umar Farooq’s propaganda.

The Graff Mecca edition rare watch gifted to Imran Khan by the Saudi Crown Prince has raised several questions, for instance, how it came into Umar Farooq Zahoor’s possession and why was it even sold in the first place.
Graff made the watch in 2019 and sold it for 250k dollars. How Geo came up with a figure of 2 million is beyond my understanding. pic.twitter.com/MkiRaa2Yz6

Dubai-based businessman, Umar Farooq Zahoor recently claimed in an interview with a private media channel that he purchased the expensive watch from Farah Gogi and PTI leader Shahzad Akbar. He claimed he has evidence to prove he bought the rare watch and three other Toshakhana gifts from Farhat Shahzadi, also known as Farah Gogi, for 7.5 million Dirhams in cash or equal to $ 2 million dollars.
The story has raised a storm in Pakistan as Imran Khan gets criticized, especially by the PML-N camp. PTI and Farah Gogi have completely rejected the allegations. PTI leaders have also made several allegations against Umar Farooq Zahoor and also said he had the backing of the incumbent PML-N government.
