A0000005177

The pen is in excellent overall condition, presenting an impeccable aesthetic appeal and total mechanical functionality after having been meticulously inspected. It is an extraordinary and exclusive example of German craftsmanship Montblanc, belonging to the prestigious and sought-after Muses Edition collection in its homage to the legendary actress "Marlene Dietrich" (Originally launched in 2007), a high-value out-of-production piece for collectors that blends the art of writing with cinema jewelry.

[ VANGUARD MORPHOLOGY AND THE MUSE'S SILHOUETTE ]

The exterior structure of the instrument stands out for its singular ergonomic and stylized morphology, breaking with traditional cylindrical conventions. Its arched silhouette is masterfully inspired by the iconic pinstriped trousers of the male style popularized by the actress. The cap features an oval cross-section that fluidly transitions to a completely circular section at the barrel, all carved from Montblanc’s unmistakable high-density black precious resin, which retains a flawless mirror-like polish free of imperfections.

[ THE SPIKED CLIP AND THE SAPPHIRE SET ]

The fittings and ornamental elements boast a sumptuous high-brightness platinum plating in excellent condition. The cap front is topped by a rhodium-plated clip of unique design, engraved with an exquisite geometric chevron pattern that emulates the formal tie worn by Hollywood’s icon. At the head of the clip is masterfully set a deep, intense blue synthetic sapphire, facet-cut, that catches the light with superb clarity. The original signature of "Marlene Dietrich" appears engraved with perfect definition on the side of the platinum cap.

[ TWIST MECHANISM AND CUSPIDAL DETAILS ]

Mechanically, the piece operates with the classic and precise continuous twist mechanism, moving smoothly, firmly and with no play. The central platinum ring stands out for its clean lines and pristine polish. Crowning the pinnacle is the Montblanc star emblem manufactured in white resin with a sophisticated iridescent mother-of-pearl finish, surrounded by inlays recreating the diamond pavé typical of Hollywood’s golden age. Along the edge of the metals rests, with absolute neatness, its individual serial number laser-engraved next to the origin inscription.

[ PREMIUM PRESENTATION AND DOCUMENTATION ]

A lot of this caliber is presented in its most rigorous collectible-conservation state. It includes its original luxury rigid outer case with a central double-flap opening, lined in black textured leather with the diva’s signature stamped in silver and a white velvet protective interior. It is also accompanied by the official commemorative booklet of the edition, which includes her biography and the certificate of the range (Marlene Dietrich Special Edition Certificate & Service Guide), all safeguarded by its black themed protective outer box.

[ CONSERVATION RECOMMENDATIONS ]

To preserve the long-term integrity of this collectible piece, it is advised to clean the precious resin and platinum elements with a dry microfiber cloth after handling to prevent oil buildup. It is recommended to use only original Montblanc pen refills to maintain the internal spring's fluidity and always keep the piece inside its leather case when not in use to protect the sapphire setting and the platinum finish from superficial micro-scratches.

Happy bidding!
