Description from the seller

This Waterman Directeur Général exhibits an outstanding condition, worthy of both collection and executive use. Its body and cap, gold-plated, maintain a uniform and deep shine, with only slight micro signs of use typical of careful handling and the natural passage of time. The mirror-like polished finish preserves its original elegance without areas of wear or loss of plating.

The clip and ornamental elements show excellent structural integrity, with no looseness or deformations. The French punches and the engraving 'Made in France' remain perfectly clear, ensuring the authenticity and origin of the instrument.

The 18-karat (18K – 750) solid gold integrated nib is in excellent condition: free of deformations, cracks, or tip wear. It retains its precise and characteristic shape, providing smooth and controlled writing. The feed system appears clean and well-adjusted.

The cap closes firmly with a secure click, and the section shows excellent preservation without deep marks or signs of abuse. It has no dents, dings, or significant aesthetic damages.

Overall, this Waterman Directeur Général stands out for its impressive visual presence, its fine state of preservation, and its mechanical reliability. A refined, elegant instrument that is hard to find in such favorable conditions, ideal for collectors, professionals, or lovers of luxury writing.

It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper preservation.

Good auction!
