AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This Cartier Must Santos pen is in very solid condition, fully maintaining the elegance and presence characteristic of the Santos line. The silver metallic body, with a longitudinal brushed finish, retains its original satin texture without dents or deformations, showing only slight signs of use typical of a well-cared vintage piece.

The contrast between the silver body and the gold elements — especially the fluted clip and the upper cap — remains attractive and balanced. The gold clip retains its rigid geometry and firm hold, with no looseness or deviations, and features a clean gold finish without visible oxidation. The cap maintains perfectly defined striations and displays the intertwined 'CC' logo, accompanied by the serial number, both engraved with complete clarity.

The metal cone shows smooth superficial wear consistent with use, but without loss of shape or structural damage. The engraving 'Cartier' remains clear and authentic, demonstrating the legitimate origin of the piece. The winding mechanism functions correctly, activating and retracting the tip smoothly and precisely, as expected from a Cartier writing instrument.

Overall, this Cartier Must Santos pen presents itself as a vintage piece in very good condition, visually elegant, fully functional, and with all its original details well preserved. An excellent opportunity for both collectors and those seeking a prestigious and emblematic writing item of Cartier design.

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

Good auction!
