Montblanc - Meisterstück Classique Bordeaux - Pen

Here we present a chromatic and stylistic authority: the Montblanc Meisterstück Classique Bordeaux (reference 164). This model represents one of the most sought-after and beloved variants by collectors, since the burgundy resin production was halted by the maison, making every specimen a piece of writing history increasingly hard to find on the market.

The silhouette is the iconic cigar-shaped form of the Meisterstück line, but rendered in a warm, deep burgundy tone that gives the instrument an elegance less formal than classic black, yet decidedly more distinctive. The finishes are plated in yellow gold, a regal color pairing that enhances the shine of the precious resin. The design is completed by the white star emblem on the top of the cap and by the three central rings, the main one bearing the clear engraving "MONTBLANC - MEISTERSTÜCK".

From a technical standpoint, the pen uses a smooth rotating mechanism for refilling. As visible in the images of the dissembled piece, the internal architecture is intact and guarantees that German mechanical precision that does not fear the passing of years. Authenticity is confirmed, in addition to construction details, by the hallmarks on the clip which include the individual serial number and the manufacturing inscription.

The conservation state is excellent. The resin maintains a mirror-like luster and the gold plating is intact and vivid, free of oxidation or color loss (brassing). Only very slight and inevitable micro-scratches from handling are noticeable (hairstreaks) due to extremely respectful use, visible only against the light. It is an excellent opportunity to acquire a out-of-production classic in conditions that preserve all its aesthetic authority.
