Originating from France, this Patrician model fountain pen is made of resin/polyester, measures 14.4 cm in length and 1.2 cm in diameter, dates to the second half of the 20th century, and is in good used condition and fully working.
Description from the seller
The pen is presented in very good overall condition, showing a remarkable level of preservation both aesthetically and functionally. The body, crafted in lapis lazuli blue marbled lacquer, retains an attractive and uniform sheen, with a deep and elegant grain that enhances its distinctive character. There are slight micro-signs of use appropriate to its age and handling, without affecting the material's integrity or its visual presence.
The gold-plated elements — clip, rings and decorative details — maintain a clean and bright finish, with minimal wear typical of careful use. The central pierced band, characteristic of this model, is well defined, with no deformations or appreciable losses.
The cap fits properly to the body, ensuring a firm closure. The top emblem remains in good condition, with light superficial signs. The grip section presents a good appearance, with no cracks or alterations.
The 18K gold nib “Waterman Ideal” is in excellent condition, with crisp engravings and no visible deformations. The breather fins are correctly aligned and the assembly has been checked, guaranteeing smooth and functional writing. The feed is clean and in optimal condition.
Overall, it is a very well-preserved piece, fully operational and ready for use or collection, standing out for both its aesthetics and its proper functioning.
Conservation recommendations
Use high-quality fountain pen inks
Avoid pigmented inks
Clean with lukewarm water if not used for a while
Dry before storing
Keep in a dry place away from direct light and extreme temperatures
Operate the mechanism gently
It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper preservation.
Happy bidding!
