Patrician - Fountain pen

The pen is in very good overall condition, showing remarkable preservation both aesthetically and functionally. The body, crafted in blue marbled lacquer reminiscent of lapis lazuli, preserves an attractive, even shine with a deep, elegant grain that enhances its distinctive character. Subtle signs of use appropriate to its age and handling are visible, without compromising the material's integrity or visual presence.

The gold-plated elements — clip, rings, and decorative details — maintain a clean, bright finish, with minimal wear consistent with careful use. The hollow central band, characteristic of this model, is well defined, with no deformities or noticeable losses.

The cap fits correctly to the body, ensuring a firm closure. The upper emblem remains in good condition, with light superficial signs. The grip section presents a good appearance, without cracks or alterations.

The 18K gold nib “Waterman Ideal” is in excellent condition, with crisp engravings and no visible deformations. The nib tines are properly aligned, and the assembly has been serviced, guaranteeing smooth and functional writing. The feed is clean and in optimal condition.

Taken together, this is a very well-preserved piece, fully operable and ready for use or collection, standing out for its aesthetics as well as its proper functioning.
