Description from the seller
A0000005947
Exceptional and rare pen from the historic Italian manufacture Aurora. This is the iconic Thesi model in its exclusive “Cento!” edition, launched in 2019 to commemorate the brand's 100th anniversary (1919-2019). This commemorative edition is strictly limited to only 100 pieces worldwide, as evidenced by the serial number engraved on the back of the instrument.
The original Aurora Thesi was conceived in 1970 by the brilliant industrial designer Marcello Nizzoli. It revolutionized the market with its innovative ultra-flat profile and oblique cut, becoming a design milestone to the point of being included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.
In this sumptuous centennial edition, the pen is presented entirely coated with an exquisite rose gold finish. On the upper spine of the slider one can see the commemorative engraving "100-100-100-100-100". The pen operates with its characteristic side-button/slider mechanism, which extends and retracts the nib smoothly and precisely.
Technical details of the piece:
Item type: Ultra-flat pen
Model/Collection: Thesi Cento! (Limited Edition to 100 units)
Materials: Solid metal with rose gold finish.
Fill system: Specific Aurora Thesi refills. Lateral slider mechanism.
Measurements: 13.7 cm long x 0.9 cm wide.

Case/Accessories: Complete. Delivered with its red commemorative outer box "Cento! 1919-2019", its luxurious inner black case, the original tag and the brand booklet/documentation ("Il Segno di un Sogno").
Please consult the images to form an adequate impression.
