Created in 1995, Montegrappa's Dragon pen quickly achieved status unmatched, perhaps, by any other modern limited instrument. A limited edition of 10 black diamond-studded 18K rose gold pieces were made, which quickly sold out and have become famously unobtainable. This example is a rare artist's proof, the only one created. An outstanding example of perhaps the greatest design of the modern limited era. The elaborate hand-finished 18K solid rose gold dragon overlay is a work of art, set with 590 brilliant-cut black diamonds (totaling 6.95 carats). Each of the two dragons' eyes are set with two rubies (3.36 carats). The heavy gold overlay weighs 106 g. The finely marbled black celluloid body offsets the gold overlay, and the overall effect of opulence and grandeur is unrivaled. The pen is in pristine condition. Medium 18K two-tone gold nib. Outer box, lacquered hardwood display box with golden dragon device, booklet. Year of production: 1995. Limited Edition: PdA ("Prova d'Autore"); the only artist's proof of this pen. Provenance: From the collection of Montegrappa's top worldwide buyer, whose credibility with Montegrappa gained him access to exclusive treasures from the company's private private vaults.
