Olympio's majestic proportions are available in 4 different sizes, combining writing comfort with your life style. 2 nib sizes for a personalised writing comfort . The Large Olympio pens feature a long, 18-carat, rhodium-plated gold nib, delicately worked and deco ra ted with elegant arabesques. Reminiscent of the famous "ping" of the S.T.Dupont lighter, the distinct, reassuring sound of the cap clicking on to the pen associated to the gentleness of the movement is a strong sign of recognition. The articulated clip protects shirt and jacket pockets. Each piece is unique thanks to an identification number engraved on the side of the clip and the S.T. Dupont signature engraved on the central ring. Highlighting the skill of the master goldsmiths and lacquerers, the "D" in S.T.Dupont is in metal bordered by black lacquer and placed on the cap for immediate recognition.

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.
