Yes, came in coral, blue or lapis, and green. It is possible there were other colors like black, but I have not seen that color. Picked up a lapis when there was a fire sale sometime around the late 90s and wish I got more. It is representative of the man 100s and well made from nib to end cap. Today, you tend not to see them and only from time to time.

It has always puzzled me why Waterman decided to stop making the modern Patrician. I've heard it said that the pens were expensive to manufacture, but even so it seems odd, as they were clearly stunning pens. The Man 100 sterling was also a great pen, especially the earlier version in full silver throughout. These pens rarely appear on eBay nowadays, and when they do they are always priced very highly.

ALthough it is a gorgeous pen - I am always worried about corrosion of the section ring.

It would have been awesome to have a plain section...

I have a green and a coral. Hope to find a blue one day.

As the Patrician is a LeMan 100, closest thing to black is the regular LeMan, but you are right. I'm not crazy about black pens, but a black Patrician would have been gorgeous.

I have the entire collection in Fountain Pens and they are stunning. The coral is really very distinctive...

 

Here's a fun picture.
