Description from the seller
We present at auction an authentic icon of timeless elegance: the Montblanc Meisterstück Classique (Model 165) mechanical pencil. This sophisticated writing instrument perfectly embodies the essence of the famous German maison, offering a universally appealing design and uncompromising mechanical reliability, ideal for accompanying your notes or drawings with maximum precision.
The body and cap are masterfully crafted in Montblanc's renowned black precious resin, whose smooth, deeply glossy surface creates a magnificent and luxurious contrast with the bright solid metal detailing, entirely and finely plated in yellow gold. The aesthetic is defined by the classic elegance of the tapered clip and the three unmistakable gold rings, the central one being thicker and bearing the clear engraving of the brand name. At the rounded summit of the cap, the six-point white star stands out, a universal symbol of prestige and artisanal mastery. The upper ring of the clip regularly bears the individual serial number.
On the technical side, this prestigious specimen is configured as a twist-advance pencil, a smooth and precise mechanism operated by the classic rotation of the cap, designed to accommodate leads with a fine and elegant line. Photographs that depict the disassembled pencil reveal the perfect integrity of the solid internal metal structure, the cleanliness of the reservoir unit, and the presence of the small eraser, guarded under the cap.
The conservation state of this fascinating instrument is to be considered in excellent overall condition. The precious resin appears magnificently glossy and free of deep scratches, showing only microscopic and normal surface markings (hairlines) due to careful, respectful handling. The brilliant gold finishes are bright and perfectly preserved, free of oxidation or evident wear.
