Parker Duofold Prestige Chevron Blue GT Fountain Pen

Parker Duofold Prestige Blue Chevron GT

The launch, in 1921, of the Parker Duofold fountain pen, was a milestone for the aforementioned North American brand due to its enormous sales success and its outstanding design, which would end up making this model one of the most iconic in its long history. Since then, this legendary piece has been periodically reintroduced, maintaining its main distinctive features and adapting to new times with the inclusion of small aesthetic variations that, without breaking its original essence, adjust to the prevailing tastes at all times and refresh the image of this mythical writing pen.

This harmonious play between modernity and tradition is reflected in pieces from the entity of the Parker Duofold Prestige Blue Chevron GT fountain pen, a superb work that takes up such a fantastic legacy and reinterprets it with renewed air, paying tribute to the glorious past of the brand and aspiring to become a new reference that forms the top of the range within its line of regular edition fountain pens.

The new Blue Chevron GT Duofold stands out for its exquisite combination of materials, among which its impressive blue lacquer on a metal base stands out, and its careful manufacturing, which is done by hand to guarantee its perfect assembly and correct functioning of all it's components. This magnificent fountain pen is only available, like the other pieces in the "Prestige" series, in the Centennial version, the largest of the options that currently make up the Duofold collection.

Its elegant lines are characterized by the pronounced touch of modernity provided by its eye-catching chevron or "inverted V" pattern laser engraved on the lacquer and the brilliant surface of its 23-carat gold-plated ornamental elements, which introduce a beautiful contrast with the predominant blue tone in the piece. Among the latter, the delicate rings arranged on both sides of the grip section, its shiny culote, its stylized clip with the iconic arrow shape, the wide tripartite band located at the base of the cap, and, most especially, the spectacular jewel that crowns the headstock, 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 Prestige Blue Chevron GT is presented in a fantastic gift box from the Luxury range, a superb final detail for a fountain pen destined to set trends for its exquisite elegance and careful attention to detail.
