AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A0000003506
The pen is presented in very good overall condition, retaining intact all the elegance and characteristic presence of Cartier's Le Must Santos line.
The body in brushed metal finish preserves uniformity in tone and texture, appreciating only light micro-scratches typical of use and the passage of time, visible under direct light but that do not affect its aesthetics nor its structural integrity. No deep dings, deformations, or material loss are observed.
The gold accents — clip, rings and trims — maintain a notable shine, with minimal wear and in line with careful use, without chipping or significant deterioration of the plating. The clip shows correct tension and alignment.
The original nib in solid 18K gold (750) is in excellent visual condition, with sharp engravings and no visible alterations. The tip preserves good alignment and no structural damage is apparent. The feed is clean and without cracks.
The cap screw threads adjust correctly, closing firmly and precisely. No play is detected.
The original Cartier case included shows light signs of exterior storage, keeping the interior in good condition and preserving its protective function and presentation value.
Overall, this is a piece very well preserved, functional and ready for use or collection, with normal and honest signs of use that confirm its authenticity and history, but without defects that compromise its elegance or performance.
Happy bidding!
