AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A0000004232

The pen presents a very good overall condition, standing out for its careful aesthetics and moderate prior use in line with its age.

The metallic body with a ribbed finish preserves a uniform and elegant shine, maintaining its distinctive presence intact. Small micro-scratches typical of use and the passage of time are visible only under close inspection and do not affect the overall aesthetic of the piece at all.

The Trinity rings, an iconic element of the model, are in very good condition, with well-defined tones and no noticeable losses, contributing the distinctive color contrast characteristic of Cartier. The clip maintains its structural rigidity and correct alignment, with no deformations.

The upper part preserves sharp engravings, including numbering and brand markings, which reinforces its authenticity and good conservation. The nib and writing area are clean, with no bumps or relevant wear.

The winding mechanism operates smoothly and precisely, as befits a piece of this quality, guaranteeing a fully functional user experience.

It is accompanied by its original Cartier case, which shows normal signs of use and storage.

Overall, it is a well-preserved, functional piece ready for use or collection, with the charm typical of high-end vintage writing instruments.

Conservation recommendations

• Use quality, Cartier-compatible refills
• Operate the winding mechanism gently
• Occasionally clean the body with a soft dry cloth
• Avoid impacts, moisture, and prolonged sun exposure
• Store in a dry, protected place when not in use

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

Happy bidding!
