This is one of the rarest and most beautiful Montblanc Monte Rosa pens of all time. These pens were made only for a very short period of time, and only a handful of these are known to exist. This Montblanc pen stands next to a limited edition with a very unique Teal Turquoise color, in production for only months. The pen simply stands out with its color and has a unique design, modern and elongated with gold trimmings. The nib is unique, semi-flexible EF size and with the gentle push, will write all bigger sizes up to B broad. The steel flexible nibs are one of the most durable, as they cannot be easily damaged as the gold nibs. Also the nib has a iridium tip, one of the most durable elements in nature, which does not ware out even after decades use so the nib stays always sharp and precise. The design is unique, stunning with great grip, balance, form factor and handling. This pen was a Montblanc response to the Parker 51 pen, which was the first with a hooded nib. The pen features a unique beautiful rhomboid shaped ink windows. Posted or not posted the pen has a perfect writing balance, fully oversize pen at 133mm closed and 148mm posed. The pen is easy to fill via the super smooth piston action from any bottle of ink, and also its very easy to open and clean. The pen is in NOS, never used condition.
