Description from the seller
The charm of heritage and emotion. Immerse yourself in the golden era of men’s luxury with this magnificent and pristine Dunhill Rollagas pocket lighter, dating from around the 1970s. Proudly made in Switzerland, the Rollagas is an unquestioned global icon of mechanical perfection, famous for being chosen by style icons around the world for its revolutionary spark stone mechanism with a side roller. This specific model features the iconic “Millerighe” motif (vertical guilloché lines) with a highly reflective, radiantly-bright finish, coated with a thick 20-micron high‑quality gold plating that emits a brilliant and deep golden hue. What makes this lot a true treasure for seasoned dealers and elite collectors is its exceptional “Full Set” status: it arrives beautifully preserved in its original rigid blue‑green emerald presentation box, bearing the official royal appointment seal “By Appointment to Her Majesty The Queen” and complete with its original era paper instruction manual “Directions for the Dunhill 'Rollagas' Lighter.” A timeless monument to premium tobacco heritage and a lifestyle statement of the elite.
