S.T. Dupont Alligator Havana Fountain Pen |
A wink to S.T.Dupont's first know-how of trunk-maker, this superb fountain pen is covered with the most precious leather: genuine matte Havana brown alligator, which is sensual and soft. The palladium cap is meticulously engraved with alligator scales, and enlightens the pen thanks to a reflection of the light. The long nib is handmade in 18-carat solid gold. The articulated clip keeps the pockets of the shirts and jackets preserved. The S.T.Dupont logo is engraved on the top of the cap.
Nib size: Extra Large
Also available in Rollerball.
Each product is numbered individually
Since 1973, once held, the S.T.Dupont pen is never forgotten. The creation of a single pen fashioned from metal is like "haute-couture": it entails no less than 150 operations and 200 quality control tests. This attention to detail extends from the cap to the rhodium-plated, 18 carat gold nib. Each nib is hand-crafted, hand-polished and tested by our experts who hold the secret of the perfect pen.
An S.T.Dupont pen is first and foremost a work of goldsmithing excellence, with many of the procedures requiring almost surgical precision, e.g., guilloche, chasing and engraving techniques. Brass sections are shaped into numerous decorative forms whose finesse and brilliance ensure their uniqueness. Precious material work and application of Chinese lacquer are both signature features of S.T.Dupont pens.
