Collector Notes
Unlike earlier S.T. Dupont fountain pens fitted with solid gold nibs, this example features a platinum-finish nib rather than a hallmarked gold nib.
Its appeal lies in the combination of black lacquer, platinum detailing, and the distinctive cabochon clip, giving it a more modern late-1990s luxury character.
Full set NOS examples in this configuration are increasingly difficult to source.
