Montblanc - Marlene Dietrich Special Edition - Pen

A0000005177

The pen presents an excellent overall state of preservation, showing an impeccable aesthetic appeal and total mechanical functionality after having been 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 released in 2007), a high-value discontinued piece of collectible significance that fuses the art of writing with cinematic high jewelry.

[ VANGUARD MORPHOLOGY AND THE MUSE’S SILHOUETTE ]

The instrument’s exterior structure stands out for its singular ergonomic and streamlined morphology, breaking with traditional cylindrical norms. Its arched silhouette is masterfully inspired by the iconic masculine-style pinstripe 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 resin, which preserves a flawless mirror-like polish free of imperfections.

[ THE SPIKE CLIP AND THE SAPPHIRE SET ]

The fittings and ornamental elements boast a sumptuous high-brilliance platinum plating, in excellent condition. The front of the cap is topped by a rhodium-plated clip of unique design, carved with an exquisite geometric chevron pattern that emulates the Hollywood icon’s men's tie. In the clip head is expertly set a deep, intense blue synthetic sapphire, facet-cut, that captures light with superb sharpness. The original signature of "Marlene Dietrich" appears engraved with perfect definition on the side of the platinum-plated cap.

[ ROTARY MECHANISM AND CUSP DETAILS ]

On the mechanical side, the piece operates with the classic and precise continuous twist mechanism, which moves smoothly, firmly, and without play. The central platinum ring stands out for its clean lines and pristine polish. Crowned at the summit is Montblanc’s star emblem made of white resin with a sophisticated iridescent mother-of-pearl finish, surrounded by inlays recreating the diamond pavé typical of the cinema’s golden era. Along the metal contours lies, with absolute cleanliness, its individual serial number laser-engraved next to the origin inscription.

[ PREMIUM PRESENTATION AND DOCUMENTATION ]

A lot of this calibre is presented in its most rigorous collectible-conservation state. It includes its original large luxury rigid case with a central double-flap opening, lined in black textured leather with the diva’s signature stamped in silver and a white velvet protective interior. It is also accompanied by the official commemorative booklet of the edition, which includes its biography and the certificate of the range (Marlene Dietrich Special Edition Certificate & Service Guide), all safeguarded by its protective black cardboard slipcase with thematic design.

[ CONSERVATION RECOMMENDATIONS ]

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