AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

We are faced with a truly exceptional piece within the Montblanc universe: the Patron of Art 'Friedrich II,' a limited edition intended solely for the most discerning connoisseurs. This unit, numbered 190/888, is entirely crafted in 750 gold (18 karats), elevating it to the category of a high-collectible masterpiece.

The pen is presented in impeccable condition, preserving the purity and brilliance that only solid gold can offer. Its body and cap, with a mirror-polished finish, display a uniform and luminous surface, indicating both the intrinsic value of the material and the meticulous care with which it has been preserved. The characteristic engravings—including numbering, 750 gold seals, and Montblanc insignias—are deeply defined and perfectly legible.

The ornamental details inspired by Friedrich II's imperial aesthetic retain their full presence: the decorative ring with geometric patterns, the sculptural lines on the body, and the iconic Montblanc star on the crown. All of this confirms the piece's fidelity to the iconography that celebrates the monarch who marked European history with his cultural and scientific vision.

The nib, also in solid 18k gold, is in outstanding condition, with no signs of deformation or wear. Its point maintains a fluid, balanced, and smooth stroke, meeting the expectations of a piece designed to offer an exceptional writing experience, even within the realm of high craftsmanship.

The pen is delivered along with its original Montblanc case, also carefully preserved, completing a presentation that matches its category: an instrument not only for writing but also for displaying, safeguarding, and passing down.

Overall, this Montblanc Patron of Art 'Friedrich II' in solid 18k gold represents a unique opportunity to acquire a highly coveted piece, produced in an extremely limited edition and intended for a select circle of collectors who value true exclusivity, artisanal mastery, and heritage value.

Good auction!
