Waterman - Carène Deluxe - Fountain pen

A0000005755

WATERMAN CARÈNE DELUXE FOUNTAIN PEN (FRANCE): We present at auction one of the most elegant, fluid, and dynamic designs from the French manufacturer Waterman: the Carène model. Inspired by the symmetry and pure lines of luxury yachts, this pen is a true aerodynamic work of art.

This unit corresponds to the coveted "Deluxe" finish. Its body is coated in high-quality polished black lacquer, majestically contrasting with a metallic cap adorned with a vertical striated pattern in a classic style. The set is enhanced with a brilliant gold plating on the hinged clip, the central band, and the bevelled butt-end cap.

The Carène’s most spectacular feature is its nib: a superb piece of solid 18-karat gold (585) flush-mounted with the nib, flowing with the pen’s silhouette as if it were the bow of a vessel.

Collection Particularity: As seen in the photo gallery, the black lacquer body features an elegant gold-stamped engraving of a heraldic/institutional shield, giving it a unique and exclusive character, indicating its origin as a possible high-level gift.
