Montblanc Patron of Art Catherine the Great II Limited Edition 4810 Fountain Pen Pre-owned

The Montblanc Patron of Art Catherine the Great II Limited Edition 4810 was introduced in 1997 as a tribute to Catherine the Great, one of the most influential rulers in Russian history. The design draws inspiration from the splendour and cultural richness of the 18th-century Russian Imperial Court.

Limited to only 4,810 pieces worldwide, this fountain pen is a highly distinctive collector's item for enthusiasts of Montblanc, historical editions and exceptional writing instruments.

Design & Materials

The pen is crafted from aubergine-coloured precious resin, complemented by an elegant rose-gold-plated overlay. The intricate filigree decoration features detailed floral wreaths and garlands, inspired by the elaborate ornamentation of the Russian Imperial Court.

The cap is finished with the characteristic ivory-coloured Montblanc emblem, adding a classic and immediately recognisable touch to this Patron of Art edition.

Nib & Filling System

The fountain pen is fitted with a solid 18-karat (Au 750) gold nib, featuring a detailed engraving of the Russian double-headed eagle, the historic symbol of the Russian monarchy.

The pen uses a traditional and reliable piston-filling system, allowing it to be filled directly from an ink bottle.

The nib is not marked with a writing-width indication by Montblanc. Based on the model and specification, we believe the nib to be Medium (M).

Limited Edition

This edition forms part of the Montblanc Patron of Art Collection and is limited to 4,810 pieces worldwide. The number 4810 refers to the height of Mont Blanc.
