Description from the seller
Gemini said
In this presentation we introduce the undisputed queen of writing instruments: the Montblanc Meisterstück 149, universally known as "the Diplomat". This specimen is not just a pen, but a true symbol of authority and success, characterized by its imposing size and the famous cigar-shaped silhouette that has shaped design history in the 20th century. Made in fine glossy black resin, the 149 stands out for its color depth and for the rich gold-plated finishes that adorn the clip and the three iconic cap rings, where the engraving "MEISTERSTÜCK No 149" sits enthroned.
The beating heart of this masterpiece is the sumptuous two-tone 18-karat gold nib (750), handcrafted and adorned with elegant rhodium insets. Macro photography reveals the exceptional condition of the engravings, among which the iconic numeral “4810” stands out, celebrating the height of Mont Blanc, and the refined decorations that surround the house's logo. As the flagship model, the pen adopts an integrated piston-filling system, smooth and precise, which allows drawing ink directly from the inkwell, offering greater writing autonomy and a charging ritual with timeless charm.
As an additional guarantee of authenticity and value for the collector, the clip ring bears a clearly engraved individual serial number (GP1035178), a detail essential for tracing the history of these elite instruments. The specimen presents itself in superb aesthetic condition, with the resin gleaming under a strong light and the metal parts free of significant signs of wear. At the top of the cap rises the broad emblem of the white star, the final seal of a pen destined for those who do not accept compromises between aesthetics and calligraphic performance.
