Montblanc - Bohème Lacquer Pearl - Pen

A0000005179

The pen is in excellent overall condition, presenting an impeccable aesthetic appeal and total mechanical functionality after being carefully inspected. It is a very beautiful and highly coveted example of German manufacture Montblanc, belonging to the sophisticated and now discontinued Bohème collection in its exclusive "Lacquer Pearl" version (Factory Reference 36009), characterized by combining high writing craftsmanship with jewelry-like details.

[ THE LACQUER BODY AND THE GUILLOCHÉ ENGRAVING ]

The central body or barrel stands out for its refined craftsmanship, built on a metal base coated with pearly white lacquer with subtle iridescent specks that shift tone depending on light incidence. The lacquered surface all over features an intricate and clean three-dimensional guilloché engraving with a pattern of waves and concentric circles perfectly executed, offering a visually striking and tactile texture. The lacquer retains its original shine intact, free of jumps, cracks or loss of enamel, showing a smooth surface that has been meticulously cared for.

[ THE SADDLE CLIP AND AKOYA PEARL ]

The metal elements and ornaments boast a sumptuous high-gloss gold plating, with a mirror-like polish that is very clean and free of wear in the friction zones. The front is highlighted by the iconic arched clip in the shape of a saddle, characteristic of the Bohème series, at whose base is masterfully set a natural Akoya pearl in white nacre with perfect orientation and no surface imperfections. At the apex, the piece is crowned by the Montblanc six-pointed star emblem made in white resin on a solid black polished background.

[ MECHANICAL SECTION AND AUTHENTICITY DETAILS ]

Functionally, the instrument operates with a precise twist-action mechanism in the upper section, which moves smoothly, firmly and with no play for the extraction and retraction of the nib. The triple gold-plated central ring presents magnificent relief-engraved clarity, where the signatures "MONTBLANC" and "BOHÈME" are clearly legible. Also, the reverse of the clip retains in absolute cleanliness the individual laser-engraved serial number and the origin inscription "GERMANY" that certify the piece’s authenticity.

[ OVERALL EVALUATION OF THE LOT ]

Overall, this is a high-end contemporary design piece in very good condition, breaking with the sobriety of black resin to offer an aristocratic aesthetic of great collectible value. It remains an excellent writing instrument or a solid investment due to its status as a discontinued boutique model, which increases its appeal in the luxury secondary market.

[ PRESERVATION RECOMMENDATIONS ]

To ensure optimal long-term maintenance of the piece, it is recommended to clean the pearly lacquer surface and the gold-plated elements with a dry microfiber cloth after handling to prevent grease or fingerprint buildup. It is advised to exclusively use original Montblanc refills to guarantee smooth internal threading and to safeguard the pen inside its case when transporting to avoid metal-to-metal contact with other objects.

[ SHIPPING AND PACKAGING DETAILS ]

The lot will be shipped properly protected in its original Bohème rigid presentation case with black satin-lined interior, accompanied by its printed "Service Guide" brochure and the outer black textured carton slipcase which retains its factory label with the matching reference code 36009.

Happy bidding!
