Description from the seller

A0000005755

WATERMAN CARÈNE DELUXE FOUNTAIN PEN (FRANCE): We present at auction one of the most elegant, fluid and dynamic designs of the French Waterman manufacture: the Carène model. Inspired by the symmetry and pure lines of luxury yachts, this pen is a true aerodynamic work of art.

This unit corresponds to the coveted "Deluxe" finish. Its body is coated in high-quality polished black lacquer, which majestically contrasts with a metallic cap decorated with a vertical striped pattern in a classic style. The set is enriched with a brilliant gold plating on the hinged clip, the central ring and the beveled butt/end cap.

The most spectacular feature of the Carène is its nib: a superb piece of 18-karat solid gold (585) embedded flush with the nib, flowing with the pen's silhouette as if it were the bow of a vessel.

Collection Particularity: As seen in the photo gallery, the black lacquer body features an elegant gold-engraved heraldic/institutional shield, giving it a unique and exclusive character, indicating its origin as a possible high-level gift.

Condition (Forensic Review)
Please bidders observe the photo gallery in detail. The pen is in an excellent cosmetic condition:

Lacquer and Cap: The black lacquer is immaculate, preserving its original mirror-like shine. The striped cap shows no dents or deep marks. The gold finishes are gleaming.

Nib: The 18K gold nib is in perfect condition and perfectly aligned.

Mechanism: The cap fits with a firm, secure snap. (Note: It is sold as-is, without original case or converter, ready to use with international standard cartridges or to fit a converter).

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

What a fantastic opportunity to acquire one of Waterman’s most beautiful and ergonomic fountain pens, with a spectacular gold nib! Best of luck to all bidders and may we have an excellent auction!
