£2 million iPhone 3GS beats record

Luxury handsets always command price-tags beyond the ken of most, but the iPhone “Supreme” takes the crown of the world's most expensive mobile with a value just shy of £2 million.

Previously the most expensive handset that we had come across was the diamond encrusted £1.6 million iPhone designed by Australian jeweller Peter Aloisson.

However, the new Supreme version adds another £300k to the total and in doing so results in a grand total of 271-grams of 22 carat gold and 68 carats of flawless diamonds spread across 136 individual stones around the case and a further 53 on the rear Apple logo. Topping off the mobile insanity is a lesser-spotted 7.1 carat individual cut diamond.

Naturally, the phone is a one-off created by Goldstriker's Stuart Hughes - reportedly under commission from an Australian businessman that made his fortune in mining gold – and is the product of 10-months of hard work.

If you'd like to get your hands on....oh forget about it.
