Description from the seller
The charm of heritage and emotions. Immerse yourself in the golden age of masculine luxury with this magnificent and pristine Dunhill Rollagas pocket lighter, dating from around the 1970s. Proudly made in Switzerland, the Rollagas is an undisputed global icon of mechanical perfection, famous for having been chosen by style icons around the world for its revolutionary flint-and-wheel mechanism with a lateral roller. This specific model features the iconic vertical guilloché pattern (millerighe), highly reflective, clad in a thick 20-micron high-quality gold plating that radiates a bright and deep gold tone. What makes this lot a true treasure for the most experienced retailers and elite collectors is its exceptional status as a “Complete set”: it arrives beautifully preserved in its original blue-green emerald-rimmed rigid presentation box, bearing the official royal appointment seal “By Appointment to Her Majesty The Queen” and complete with its original vintage paper instruction manual “Directions for the Dunhill 'Rollagas' Lighter.” A timeless monument of premium tobacco heritage and a lifestyle statement of the elite.
