Montblanc - Marlene Dietrich Special Edition - Pen

A0000005177

The pen is in excellent overall condition, presenting impeccable aesthetic appeal and full mechanical functionality after being meticulously inspected. It is an extraordinary and exclusive specimen of German manufacture Montblanc, belonging to the prestigious and coveted Muses Edition collection in its homage to the legendary actress "Marlene Dietrich" (originally launched in 2007), a discontinued piece of high collectible value that fuses the art of writing with cinematic high 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 norms. Its arched silhouette is masterfully inspired by the iconic men’s pleated trousers popularized by the actress. The cap features an oval cross-section that smoothly transitions into a completely circular section on the barrel, all carved from Montblanc’s unmistakable high-density black precious resin, which retains a flawless, mirror-like polish free of imperfections.

[ THE SPIKE CLIP AND THE SAPPHIRE SETTING ]

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

[ ROTATION MECHANISM AND CUSPIDEAL DETAILS ]

Mechanically, the piece operates with the classic and precise continuous twist mechanism, moving smoothly, firmly, and without play. The central platinum ring stands out for its clean lines and meticulous polish. Crowning the apex is the Montblanc star emblem manufactured in white resin with a sophisticated iridescent mother-of-pearl finish, surrounded by inlays that recreate the typical diamond pavé of Hollywood’s golden age. Along the edges of the metals, its individual serial number is clearly laser-engraved next to the origin inscription.

[ PREMIUM PRESENTATION AND DOCUMENTATION ]

A lot of this caliber is presented in its most scrupulous collectible condition. It includes its original deluxe rigid storage case with a central double-flap opening, lined in black textured leather with the diva’s signature stamped in silver, and a white velvet interior. It is also accompanied by the official edition commemorative booklet, including its biography and the certificate of the range (Marlene Dietrich Special Edition Certificate & Service Guide), all safeguarded by its protective black cardboard overbox.

[ CONSERVATION RECOMMENDATIONS ]

To preserve the long-term integrity of this collectible piece, it is advised to clean the precious resin and the platinum elements with a dry microfiber cloth after handling to prevent grease buildup. It is recommended to use only Montblanc original pen refills to maintain the internal spring’s fluidity and always store 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!
