Parker Duofold Classic Black GT Centennial Fountain Pen

Parker Duofold Classic Black GT Centennial

In 1923, two years after the launch of the original model, Parker expanded its commercial offering by launching a new version of its Duofold fountain pen in black. Since then, this legendary model has been periodically recovered in various collections that, maintaining its essential features, have been able to adapt to the times with the inclusion of small aesthetic variations in line with prevailing tastes and the incorporation of the most advanced technology available at each historical moment.

Modernity and tradition are thus combined with great brilliance in pieces such as the Parker Duofold Classic Black GT Centennial fountain pen, the 2017 version of this exceptional work and an exciting tribute to one of the most successful models of the North American company that stands, along with its fellow collection, in a new flagship for the brand and an undoubted reference in the world of writing pens.

With dimensions slightly larger than its “little sister”, the International version, this exquisite fountain pen is made of high-quality black resin with a glossy finish and is hand-finished to ensure perfect assembly and proper functioning.

Its elegant lines are characterized by a serene classicism and are enlivened by the refined ornamental details that are distributed along its surface. The latter are plated in 23 carat gold and introduce a beautiful chromatic contrast with the predominant black color in the piece, highlighting very especially, along with the delicate rings arranged in the shorts and the grip section, its well known arrow-shaped clip or the wide tripartite band located at the base of the cap, the spectacular jewel that crowns the previous one, with the name of the collection and an intricate ace of spades standing out in relief.

As for its nib, it is available in fine (F) and medium (M) points and is made of solid 18-karat gold with a beautiful rhodium mask in which the "ace of spades" motif is again repeated. A magnificent element adorned with a delicious stamped decoration that includes, among other things, the name of the collection and the goldsmith's marks indicating the purity of the gold used in its manufacture —“18K-750”.

The Duofold Classic Black GT is presented in a fantastic gift box from the Luxury range.
