If you’re in it just for aesthetic pleasure then bask in the glorious elegance of this phone. We are talking about the Katherine Hughes iPhone which shows that not all people have been affected by the global recession, especially those that can still afford to get this phone worth $3.2 million.

It took ten months before the Katherine Hughes iPhone was created, thanks to an Australian gold mining magnate who had the phone commissioned. The fact that it has 3G connection has taken a backseat considering that the phone has more features to salivate about.

Take for example the 136 diamonds that fills the front bezel of the 22 Karat phone, as well as the 53 flawless diamonds nesting on the rear logo. And to top that, the phone has a 7.1 Karat rare diamond that can be found on the front navigation button.

You will find the packaging of the Katherine Hughes iPhone grand enough, as it comes in a 7 kilogram nubuck leather lined granite box.  The phone was customized by Liverpool, England based Stuart & Katherine Hughes. The phone does not only look great but it is also functional, with 16GB installed memory, a built-in digital camera and up to 10 hours of talk time.
