Description from the seller
In the auction we present one of the most iconic tools of the modern design of the Hamburg-based maison, famous for its aerodynamic lines and innovative spirit: the Montblanc StarWalker Platinum Resin Fineliner / Roller pen.
Born to celebrate the spirit of exploration and space conquest, the StarWalker collection stands out immediately for its most famous architectural detail: the transparent dome on the top of the cap, inside which the emblem of the white star seems to literally float, recalling the silhouette of the Earth seen from the lunar horizon.
The body and the cap are made of fine glossy black resin, creating a beautiful contrast with the bright platinum-plated finishes on the clip and rings. The true centerpiece of this specific variant (first generation) is the metal-handled grip section with a refined cross-hatch guilloché pattern. This industrial-sounding finish not only gives the pen a gritty aesthetic, but ensures an exceptional non-slip grip during writing. As documented, the pen uses an original Montblanc Fineliner refill (for a stroke similar to a thin marker), but the barrel is perfectly compatible with the classic liquid-ink Roller refills as well.
The condition is assessable as excellent overall. The black resin maintains a mirror-like polish and is free from cracks or chips; only the physiological and light micro-scratches (hairlines) scattered on the body, due to normal handling, are visible. The knurled metal grip is intact and the platinum finishes appear bright and free of oxidation. The serial code is regularly engraved on the clip ring. To confer further prestige to the lot is the presence of its elegant original Montblanc presentation case complete with manuals.
