Description from the seller

We present at auction a refined writing instrument that celebrates the great Italian manufacturing tradition: an elegant Aurora Roller Pen, famous TU model, offered in a special and distinctive 'MIA' edition. This piece combines the renowned artisanal excellence of the historic Turin house with an aesthetic that is decidedly contemporary and metropolitan, establishing itself as an ideal accessory for those who seek class, reliability, and fluid writing in daily life.

The body and cap of the pen are expertly crafted in a premium resin featuring a sophisticated blue satin finish. This particular texture not only gives the object a modern and appealing look but also provides a velvety tactile feel and a highly secure grip. To create a magnificent and luminous contrast with the satin surfaces, there are bright details in mirror-polished chrome metal, such as the chunky central ring and the solid clip. The grip, shaped in glossy black resin, finely disrupts the color balance and guarantees perfect, fatigue-free ergonomics during long writing sessions.

The detail that makes this lot unique and gives it a completely exclusive identity is the specific customization placed on the summit. At the flat top of the cap stands a circular insert with the logo 'MIA' printed in contrast, a distinctive feature that underscores its nature as a special edition or a commissioned piece. Complementing this element is the robust metal clip, with a wide, slightly curved profile typical of the unmistakable TU line, which harmonizes with the clean lines of the entire instrument.

Technically, the piece is configured as a Roller pen, equipped with a practical cap-ruled mechanism designed to house the brand’s famous, smooth liquid ink refills. The close-up views of the piece disassembled into its main components confirm the complete integrity of the internal structure and the precision of the assemblies, an undisputed synonym of Aurora's high manufacturing quality. On the wide metal ring at the base of the cap, the inscription 'Aurora Italy' is regularly and clearly engraved, an unequivocal seal of authenticity.

The pen’s state of preservation is excellent, nearly as good as new. The instrument has been kept with great care and shows no scratches or obvious signs of wear; the blue finish and the gleaming chrome retainers fully preserve their factory original beauty. To add further collectible value and complete the offering, the lot is presented in its elegant original rigid case, enriched by the special inner presentation card that certifies that the pen was "made at Manifattura Aurora".
