Montblanc - Meisterstück Classique Bordeaux - Pen

Up for auction 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 refined Bordeaux resin (or Burgundy) has, in fact, been 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 blend into an unmistakable aerodynamic line, enhanced by the three classic rings with a gold finish. At the summit, crowning its belonging to the Olympus of writing, sits the white star emblem. On the clip ring, the engraving "GERMANY" and the serial number are visible, confirming its authenticity. The model is a twist-mechanism ballpoint pen. The photographs 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 time 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 to the gold plating, particularly on the tip cone, the side edges of the clip, and 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 want the prestige and rarity of the Bordeaux color for everyday use without too many worries.
