Montblanc has created a one-of-a-kind writing instrument to celebrate the fairytale wedding of prince and princess of Consort of Monaco at Monaco’s Principality.
The wedding of Prince Albert II of Monaco and Charlene Wittstock on July 1st, 2011, marked the launch of Montblanc’s a Création Privée from the Artisan Atelier Hamburg that was used to sign and seal their lifelong devotion to each other for life.
This sumptuously precious and bejewelled white gold skeletonised pen has drawn its inspiration from the architectural elements of the Palais Princier and the Principality Flag. The cone is embellished with the royal monogram of the Princely Couple.
The pen is encrusted with 128 diamonds and 161 rubies that have been artistically rendered into the skeleton of the solid white gold fountain pen, and one ruby set on the tip of the clip. These are meant to symbolise the colours of the Monégasque State, thus are red and white, which represent the flag.
The Montblanc emblem can be seen on the cap set inside exceptional mother-of-pearl, that reflects the rarity of this piece, representing the future prosperity of the Princely Couple.
The hand-crafted gold nib is finely engraved with a dove, rings and a crown; elements that combines the unique symbols of love and this state union.
The pen was gifted to the couple as a “memento of a special occasion in European history, and a personal treasure for the newlyweds”.
Launch 2011
