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. Technical specifications and condition report: Brand: Alfred Dunhill London (Made in Switzerland). Model: Rollagas lighter. Finishes: 20-micron gold plating with vertical guilloché pattern. Box/accessories: complete set with original Dunhill royal blue velvet presentation box and original instruction booklet. Condition report: excellent vintage condition. The gold plating is extremely bright, uniformly clean, and shows no major dents or structural losses. Minor, authentic micro-scratches due to age exposure and handling. Note: sold as a collectible item as shown in photos. The flint/gas may require regular recharges before ignition. Conditions: Excellent (Very Good / Excellent - perfectly preserved); Material: Gold-plated brass; Technique: Geometric vertical guilloché (“millerighe”); Era: 20th Century / 1970s (circa 1970–1979); Color: Brilliant polished gold / internal beige/gold velvet lining; Branding: Official marks “Dunhill Made in Switzerland” stamped on the bottom of the reservoir. The lot will be carefully packaged and shipped with approved couriers. For this lot, shipments outside the European Community are not available.
