Montblanc - Meisterstück Classique Bordeaux - Pen

Here we present a piece of great charm and refinement, now rightfully part of the history of collecting: the Montblanc Meisterstück Classique ballpoint pen (Model 164) in Bordeaux resin. The true added value of this writing instrument is its iconic coloration. The prized resin “Bordeaux” (or Burgundy) was, in fact, discontinued for over two decades, making every specimen an increasingly rare and sought-after item on the secondary market, especially for those looking for a warm and elegant alternative to classic black.

The body and cap fuse into an unmistakable aerodynamic line, enhanced by the three classic gilded rings. At the top, to proclaim its belonging to the Olympus of writing, the white star emblem sits in splendor. On the clip ring, the engraving “GERMANY” and the serial number are visible, confirming its authenticity. The model is a ballpoint pen operated by the proven twist mechanism. 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 aging that attest to its history and daily use. Being a loved 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, particularly visible on the tip cone, on the side edges of the clip, and on the three central rings, where the gilding is thinned. Despite these cosmetic signs due to use, the resin shows no cracks or structural breaks 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 for everyday use without too many concerns."
