No. 109296) was released in 2013 and was limited to exactly 14,500 pieces worldwide. Elements The design is heavily inspired by 19th-century French dandyism and honors the physical presence and themes of the famous novelist behind La Comédie Humaine • The Barrel & Body: Made of precious black resin and warm grey lacquer featuring a fine pinstripe guilloché pattern. This design directly references the cutaway trousers favored by refined Parisian gentlemen of Balzac’s era. • The Shape: Features a distinct, slightly oversized, bold silhouette that mirrors Balzac's own stature. • The Clip: A platinum-plated clip adorned with turquoise lacquer inlays at the top, capturing the likeness of the author's famously opulent walking cane. • The Accent Rings: Graced with complex platinum and gold-plated rings. They transition from a simple design at the cone to a highly intricate layout near the cap, symbolizing the distinct social classes that emerged in early 19th-century France—a central focus of Balzac's writing. • The Signature: The cap is engraved with Honoré de Balzac's original signature
