Montblanc StarWalker Midnight Black Fineliner/Rollerball pen in black precious resin with ruthenium-plated metal trim, serial MW1988248, made in Germany in the Fine XX century, in good condition and in working order, with a 1.2 cm diameter and 14 cm length.
Description from the seller
In this auction we present a dark-design authority and contemporary writing: the Montblanc StarWalker Midnight Black. This instrument represents the boldest and most mysterious soul of the Hamburg manufactory, where classic Montblanc elegance meets a stealth and ultra-modern aesthetic. In the 2026 market, the Midnight series remains one of the most sought-after for its resolute character, perfect for those seeking a writing instrument that does not shout its presence, but asserts it with magnetic and technical charisma.
The body and cap are made of black precious resin, enriched with ruthenium-plated finishes, a rare metal in the platinum family that gives the metal parts that typical dark gray / smoky, authoritative and sophisticated tone. The distinctive feature of this model is the front section (the grip) in metal with refined diamond-knurling, offering a technical and precise grip. The top of the cap hosts the unmistakable transparent dome with the floating Montblanc star, the iconic signature of the StarWalker line.
Configured as Fineliner / Rollerball, this pen offers total versatility: the roller’s fluidity combined with the precision of the fineliner, ideal for authoritative signatures or quick notes in a premium diary/planner. The screw-cap guarantees maximum security and protection of the refill, keeping ink ready for use.
The conservation state of the piece is excellent. As clearly documented in the macro photographs, the ruthenium plating — known to be striking yet delicate — shows signs of age: there are slight whitening and micro-scratches on the clip and on the caps rings where the metal has acquired an authentic patina. The resin body shows normal signs of daily use and rubbing. These details do not affect the structural solidity or the sculptural beauty of the object, but testify to its history as an unfaltering writing companion, offering the opportunity to acquire a Midnight Black at a competitive market value.
