Rare and elegant vintage Cartier Trinity ballpoint pen in gold-plated finish, featuring a beautifully executed guilloché motif and the iconic Trinity rings at the cap, one of Cartier’s most enduring luxury signatures inspired by the celebrated Trinity collection of the Maison. Far less commonly encountered than the standard smooth lacquer or entry-level Must de Cartier examples, this refined guilloché configuration offers a distinctly more luxurious and jewellery-like appearance. The engraved texture interacts beautifully with light and gives the pen exceptional tactile presence in hand. This example remains in excellent overall condition and appears barely used. Importantly, the gold plating remains bright and well preserved, without the heavy edge wear often encountered on vintage gold-plated Cartier writing instruments. The pen retains a crisp and elegant presentation throughout. Accompanied by its original Cartier presentation box, an increasingly uncommon survival for vintage Cartier accessories, further enhancing both its collectable appeal and suitability as a refined gift object. Well-preserved boxed examples of the Trinity guilloché variant appear only sporadically on the market, especially outside the more common Must de Cartier line. Comparable examples regularly achieve approximately €300–€400 on the secondary market depending on condition and completeness. The pen carries the discreet elegance associated with Cartier desk accessories of the late twentieth century, equally suited for an executive office, collector’s cabinet, or refined daily use.
