Dunhill - Rollagas - Lighter - Gold-plated

A0000005785

VINTAGE DUNHILL ROLLAGAS LIGHTER (MADE IN SWITZERLAND):

We present at auction a true icon of British luxury and Swiss precision engineering: the Dunhill Rollagas lighter. Since its introduction in the mid-20th century, the Rollagas became the gold standard among luxury lighters, chosen by the world’s elite for its reliability, its unmistakable click when closing the cap, and its timeless elegance.

This unit stands out for its dazzling gold-plated finish and an exquisite guilloché wave pattern (often called Moire or Wave). This texture not only catches the light in a spectacular way but also provides an unbeatable tactile grip. At the base are crisply engraved the credentials of its pedigree: "dunhill - MADE IN SWITZERLAND - US. RE. 24163 PATENTED".

It retains all the mechanical elements that made this model famous, including its textured lateral roller for effortless ignition and the classic diagonal tensioning lever mechanism for replacing the stone.

Condition (Expert Review)
Prospective bidders are asked to examine the photo gallery in detail. The lighter is in magnificent aesthetic condition for its decades of history:

Body and Plating: The gold finish retains a warm, deep shine. The wave pattern is perfectly defined. No major dings or dents are visible; only micro-scratches ("hairs" or fuzz) resulting from normal, careful use.

Mechanics: The lid opens and closes with a firm click and excellent alignment. The roller spins smoothly and the stone mechanism functions correctly. (Expert note: As this is a vintage gas lighter, the mechanical spark has been tested, but for optimal daily use it is highly likely that standard maintenance by a professional will be required, such as replacing the interior O-rings, as the rubber tends to crystallize with age. In accordance with international postal safety regulations, the lighter is shipped empty, with no gas or stone installed).

Shipping
The item will be carefully protected and securely packaged, with insured shipping and an international tracking number.

A fantastic opportunity to add to your collection the most elegant lighter in the world, a mechanical jewel that never goes out of fashion! Good luck to all bidders!
