New Visconti: Princely Wedding --> Absolute Preview!

[Susanna]

Special Edition Commemorative pen, for the wedding of Prince Albert II of Monaco and Miss Charlene Wittstock (July 1 and 2, 2011):

"On this joyous occasion and in a tradition of solidarity, generosity and sharing so characteristic of the Grimaldi dynasty, the Princely couple has agreed to the release of a special edition limited to 388 pieces of a pen designed and handmade by Visconti workshops in Florence, Italy, and that profits from the subscription shall be donated to a Monegasque charity chosen by the newlyweds."

 

This is the pen: stunning, isn't it?

Made in ivory-color organic resin, with a rose-gold vermeil filigree, reproducing the official logo of the wedding and the Monaco coat-of-arms.

Double reservoir power filler, Dreamtouch 23 Kt gold nib

 

 

The pen will be ready in September.

Finally! An LE we can write with again after all the monstrous step downs or bad designs. :clap1: Is vermeil the only option?

[Deirdre]

Want! (I will start saving my pennies now.)

[Ghost Plane]

Do we have a ballpark guesstimate for price?

[Deirdre]

DRPF and an overlay means probably somewhere in the same price as the Venezia, right?

[Susanna]

Is vermeil the only option?

 

Yes, only rose vermeil

Price will probably be approx 1900 euro, in Italy

To me , she doesn't look that thrilled!!??????? Thanks

 

Of course. They told her she could not use this beautifull pen to sign the weddingdocuments but had to use a blingy MB.

I would look peeved as well..

(the Museo Oceanografico is available since one year, approx: http://www.giardino.it/pens/visconti/museo.php )

Yes, you're right, Susanna ,I have got my LE Musée Océanographique de Monaco since end of October.

 

It was very difficult to have it because we cannot buy it in France, we can only buy it at the "boutique" of the Musée Océanographique at Monaco.....and at Giardino.it!

Saw the pen a few times time. I liked it a lot when I first saw it, but the idea behind it / the wedding, didn't work well for me. It was a turnoff, for an otherwise nice pen.

[Susanna]

maybe you're right, but the pen is really wonderful...
