AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
We are presenting at auction an authentic jewel of writing and design signed Montblanc: the exclusive and sought-after Meisterstück 116 ballpoint pen (the famous "Mozart" format) in its splendid Solitaire Special Edition "Coral". This model stands out for its compact, exquisitely refined dimensions, designed to tuck neatly inside a diary or in a jacket pocket, blending everyday practicality with an aesthetic of undeniable charm.
The design of this special edition plays on a magnificent and luxurious contrast of color and material. The body of the instrument is made of precious coral-colored resin, a warm, rare, and vibrant shade that instantly catches the eye. Providing a noble counterpoint are the gold-plated cap and tip; the cap in particular is finely worked with a classic and elegant vertical guilloché motif (guillochage), which adds brightness and three-dimensionality to the piece. Completing the aesthetics are the maison's iconic elements, such as the three central rings and the pristine white star perched at the top.
Technically, the instrument is configured as a mini ballpoint pen, equipped with a practical and smooth twist mechanism for extending the tip. The photographs showing the pen disassembled confirm the total integrity of the internal components and metal threads, ensuring perfect and durable operation.
The preserved condition of this fascinating specimen is to be considered in excellent overall condition. The coral-colored resin is solid, glossy, and free of structural imperfections, while the gold-plated parts retain a splendid brightness.
In keeping with our usual and rigorous policy of total transparency, only microscopic and entirely physiological signs of surface wear are noted (imperceptible micro-scratches) typical of mirrored metal surfaces, resulting from normal, though careful, handling over time. These details attest to the object's life without in any way compromising its extraordinary aesthetic rendering. There is also an absolute absence of personalized engravings.
