Montblanc - Meisterstück Classique Bordeaux - Pen

In this piece we present a item of great charm and refinement, now rightfully entering the history of collecting: the Montblanc Meisterstück Classique (Model 164) ballpoint pen in Bordeaux resin. The true added value of this writing instrument is its iconic coloration. The precious resin "Bordeaux" (or Burgundy) has in fact been discontinued for over two decades, making each specimen an ever rarer and more sought-after object on the secondary market, especially for those seeking a warm and elegant alternative to classic black.

The body and cap merge into an unmistakable aerodynamic line, enhanced by the three classic rings with a gold finish. At the top, to signify membership in the Olympus of writing, the emblem of the white star reigns. On the clip ring the engraving "GERMANY" and the serial number are visible, confirming its authenticity. The model is a twist-action ballpoint pen. The photos of the disassembled piece show the internal brass threading perfectly aligned and clean, guaranteeing smooth and precise mechanical operation. The item is offered individually, without a box.

The condition is good vintage, with normal signs of wear that attest to its history and daily use. Being a beloved and used object, the Bordeaux resin shows physiological micro-scratches on the surface. As documented with absolute transparency by the photographs, there is natural wear of the gold plating, visible especially on the cone of the tip, on the side edges of the clip and on the three central rings, where the gilding is thinned. Despite these aesthetic signs from use, the resin shows no breaks or structural cracks and the pen is intact and ready to write. It is the ideal specimen for those who desire the prestige and rarity of the Bordeaux color to use every day without too many concerns.
