Retro 51 Tornado Popper Dorian Gray LE Rollerball / Ballpoint

Retro 51 Tornado Popper Dorian Gray LE Rollerball / Ballpoint

The Retro 51 Tornado Popper Dorian Gray LE Rollerball / Ballpoint draws inspiration from Oscar Wilde’s celebrated novel The Picture of Dorian Gray. Limited to only 1,031 individually numbered pieces worldwide, this literary-themed Tornado explores the novel’s famous contrast between eternal youth and the hidden consequences of corruption.

The design features glossy black artwork printed over a light blue-gray barrel that glows in the dark. At the top appears the youthful Dorian Gray, while further down the barrel his corrupted portrait reveals the darker side of his story. Black Stealth accents reinforce the dramatic aesthetic, while the top disc features the initials DG surrounding an hourglass, a fitting symbol of time and Dorian’s desire to escape its effects.

Each Retro 51 Tornado Popper Dorian Gray is individually numbered on the top ring and presented in a matching collectible tube. With only 1,031 examples produced worldwide, this special edition combines one of literature’s most recognizable stories with the distinctive design and practical twist mechanism of the Retro 51 Tornado.
