Description from the seller

We present at auction a refined writing instrument: an elegant Aurora Roller Pen, famed TU model, in a special and distinctive edition "MIA". This specimen combines the renowned artisanal craftsmanship of the historic Turin house with a contemporary, metropolitan aesthetic, making it an ideal accessory for those seeking class, reliability, and fluidity of line in everyday life.

The body and cap of the pen are expertly crafted in high-quality resin with a sophisticated blue satin finish. This particular texture not only gives the object a modern and attractive appearance but also offers a velvety feel and a highly secure grip. A magnificent and luminous contrast to the satin surfaces is provided by the chrome-plated metal details, such as the massive central ring and the solid clip. The grip, shaped in glossy black resin, subtly offsets the color balance and guarantees perfect ergonomic comfort during long writing sessions.

What makes this lot unique and gives it an entirely exclusive identity is the specific customization on the summit. On the flat cap top sits a circular insert with the "MIA" logo printed in contrast, a distinctive detail that underscores its nature as a special edition or a commissioned piece. Complementing this element is the robust metal clip, with a broad, slightly curved profile typical of the unmistakable TU line, which blends harmoniously with the pen’s clean overall forms.

Technically, the piece is configured as a Roller pen, featuring a practical cap-off mechanism, designed to house the brand’s famous and smooth liquid ink refills. The close-up views of the piece disassembled into its main components confirm the total integrity of the internal structure and the precision of the assemblies, an indisputable sign of the very high build quality typical of Aurora. On the wide metal ring at the base of the cap is regularly and clearly engraved the inscription "Aurora Italy", an unmistakable seal of authenticity.

The pen’s condition is excellent, virtually like new. The instrument has been kept with extreme care and shows no scratches or obvious signs of wear; the blue finish and the gleaming chrome retain their original factory beauty completely. To add further collectible value and complete the offering, the lot is presented in its elegant original rigid case, enhanced by the special internal presentation card that certifies the pen was "made at the Manifattura Aurora".
