Description from the seller
In this auction we present a true classic of formal elegance, a piece that perfectly embodies the luxurious and traditional aesthetic of the Hamburg house: the Montblanc Meisterstück Solitaire Doué Gold & Black Ballpoint Pen.
The term "Doué" in Montblanc nomenclature indicates the harmonious meeting of two noble materials. In this model, the lower barrel is made in the classic, highly resistant glossy black precious resin, while the upper cap is entirely gold-plated. What makes the cap design particularly sophisticated is the refined vertical ribbing (pinstripe pattern), which catches the light, creating elegant reflections and offering an extremely pleasant tactile sensation. Completing the two-tone contrast are the nib tip and the three classic gold-plated rings, in addition to the iconic white star at the summit.
The operating mechanism is a continuous twist (twist), a solid and reliable system for extending the nib. The photos of the disassembled pen confirm the integrity of the sturdy brass threads and the presence of an original refill. The clip ring regularly bears the individual serial number.
The condition is to be considered in excellent overall condition. The black resin barrel shows a very beautiful mirror polish, with rare and very light micro-scratches due to normal use. The gold cap preserves a vivid and saturated plating, free from oxidation or significant metal loss; as is typical for smooth or grooved gold surfaces exposed to daily use, only very slight and natural signs of handling are noticeable. The lot is supplied with its original Montblanc rigid box.
