Montblanc - 221 P (Pocket) - Fountain pen

A0000005301

We put up for auction the most absolute, compact, and most-commented object of desire in vintage high-end writing collecting: the Montblanc Classic 221 Variant pocket fountain pen, in its most iconic, elegant, and functional execution in black precious resin with gold-plated details. This historic piece represents one of the boldest and most aerodynamic design twists of the Hamburg house, breaking with traditional forms to offer a writing instrument with a short, slender profile, yet extraordinary comfort, lightness, and visual impact.

The design of this pen manufactured in Germany is a display of high-fidelity aesthetics and executive ergonomics: its body measures extremely compact and portable dimensions, about 11.6 cm in length with a slim thickness of 1.0 cm, offering a balance and hand-held lightness that are unrivaled. It is built in Montblanc’s famous precious resins, delivering a deep black polish of optical quality that cleanly contrasts with the gold-plated rings and the flat clip in a minimalist aesthetic. The assembly is crowned at the head with the oversized white star emblem proudly inlaid.

At the base of the body sits clearly engraved the holy grail of its identity: the model 221, certifying its direct provenance from the brand’s high-manufacture workshops. But the true heart of this work of art lies in its nib: a splendid original Montblanc nib, solid 14-karat gold (585) with a nib size M (Medium) of impeccable geometry and flow, designed specifically to offer a smooth writing experience with an unparalleled liquid intensity.
