The silver-tone (ST) metal finishes — clip, rings, and trim — are in excellent condition, with only very slight signs of handling and no significant wear or chrome loss.

The cap fits properly and retains the characteristic geometry of the Exception line, with no play. The clip maintains good tension and alignment.

The nib, in 18K gold (750), is very clean and well preserved, with crisp engravings and no visible deformities. The tip shows moderate use, maintaining proper alignment, suggesting smooth operation. The section and feed are in good condition, with no buildup or noticeable deterioration.

It comes with its original Waterman box, which is in good overall condition, with slight signs of storage.

Overall, it is an elegant and well-maintained piece, ready for use, fully preserving its aesthetic and functional qualities.

Maintenance recommendations:
It is advisable to use high-quality inks specifically for fountain pens, avoiding pigmented inks. If not in use for a long period, rinse with warm water, dry completely before storage, and keep in a dry place away from direct light and extreme temperatures. Operate the writing mechanism gently at all times.

Happy bidding!
