Montblanc - Meisterstück Classique - Pen

In this auction we present a famous classic of writing signed Montblanc: the Montblanc Meisterstück Classique (Model 163) Gold Line Roller. The body and cap of this iconic instrument, characterized by its sleek cigar-like silhouette, are made in traditional black precious resin. The deep black of the resin creates an elegant contrast with the bright yellow-gold plated finishes, which include the classic drop clip and the three institutional rings. Crowning the top of the cap is the famous six-point white star, an unmistakable symbol of the maison.

From a technical point of view, this is a Roller (rollerball), featuring a removable cap that can be conveniently slipped onto the tail-end of the barrel during use. As documented in the photographs of the disassembled pen, the instrument uses the practical standard Montblanc refills for roller or fineliner, easily replaceable by unscrewing the grip section from the main body.

Regarding the condition, the item presents in generally good condition, but with a fundamental peculiarity that must be declared openly. The precious resin retains good luster, showing the physiological micro-scratches (hairlines) resulting from normal use. WARNING: On the side of the cap there is a conspicuous and deep personalized engraving that reads "VNU NLG 2.75 billion." This specific engraving, very likely commemorating an important financial agreement or corporate milestone (NLG referred to the Dutch guilders), personalizes and strongly marks the aesthetic of the object.
