AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A0000004606

The Les Must de Cartier pen presents a very good overall state of conservation, especially notable for its excellent aesthetic presence and attractive gold finish with guilloché pattern, which maintains a uniform and elegant shine.

On the surface, there are light signs of wear, visible mainly as micro-scratches and small marks on the body and, more noticeably, around the nib area, where wear is somewhat more pronounced due to normal use.

These marks are consistent with careful use and do not affect the functionality or structural integrity of the piece in the slightest.

The clip is well aligned and firm, preserving its proper tension, while the decorative rings and metal details maintain good definition. The engraving on the top (“Cartier Paris” and markings) is sharp, reinforcing the authenticity and good condition of the set.

The writing mechanism has been inspected and is operational, guaranteeing proper functioning, in line with Collecting Legacy standards.

Its original Les Must de Cartier case is included, showing signs of use and aging on the interior, such as small stains or fabric wear, although it continues to adequately protect and adds value to the set.

Conservation recommendations:

To keep the piece in optimal condition, use compatible quality refills, avoid shocks or drops, gently clean the exterior with a dry cloth, and store the pen in a dry place, away from moisture, direct light, and extreme temperatures. Also operate the mechanism gently to preserve proper function in the long term.

Happy bidding!
