This exquisite S.T. Dupont lighter represents the brand’s artistry and technical mastery, featuring the signature “Laque de Chine” finish in deep black contrasted with luxurious gold-plated accents. The elegant vertical stripe design enhances its refined silhouette, embodying classic Parisian sophistication. The serial number “N9AK01” engraved on the base confirms its authenticity. The lighter comes complete with its original presentation box, warranty card, and booklet — a rare full set ideal for collectors. The combination of black Chinese lacquer and gold plating offers timeless elegance, making this model highly sought after among Dupont enthusiasts. [Appearance] The lacquer surface retains its deep gloss and beautiful luster. There are minor scratches and light wear on the gold-plated areas, mainly around the edges, consistent with age and light use. Overall, it remains in very good vintage condition. The engravings and logos are crisp and clear. [Functionality] Ignition and spark have been checked. Due to its vintage nature, gas refilling and occasional maintenance are recommended for optimal performance. A stunning example of S.T. Dupont craftsmanship — suitable for both everyday use and as a distinguished collector’s item. Flint and gas will be removed before shipping. Please refill before use.
