Description from the seller
A0000005942
Exceptional and dazzling writing set from the prestigious Parker firm, belonging to its successful and elegant Sonnet collection. This luxurious set, manufactured in France during the 1990s, comprises a fountain pen and a matching ballpoint pen in the stunning Cascade Gold finish (also known as Gold Ciselé).
Both instruments are built on a solid metal base coated with an exceedingly rich 23-karat gold bath. The design features a refined pattern of parallel grooved lines (fine and thick) running along the body and cap, offering an excellent tactile grip and a spectacular shine reminiscent of high jewelry pieces. Parker’s characteristic arrow-shaped clips complete the timeless aesthetics. The pen cap bears the engraving "PARKER - SONNET - FRANCE".
The fountain pen, the jewel of the set, is equipped with a magnificent solid 18-karat gold nib (18K 750), adorned with the classic criss‑cross pattern and a subtle rhodium partial coating. The writing point is Medium (M). The ballpoint operates with a precise continuous rotation mechanism.
