Description: Visconti Millionaire Imperial Black Marble Rollerball Pen Limited Edition #304/988 Retail - $2,190 Purchased New, Never Used Visconti Men's Pen 685RL01 with Visconti Serial Number Card and Visconti Box THE VISCONTI MILLIONAIRE COLLECTIONThe name Visconti has been synonymous with luxury from day one.Right from the word go Visconti has been creating pens that are absolutely matchless in terms of their materials and accessories, from precious celluloid to delicate gold and silver inlay.For the first time in the history of writing, Visconti's Millionaire project has been inspired by the use of marble, one of the most luxurious materials in the world, as both a decorative and a functional element.Over 3,000 years, from the splendid buildings of ancient Greece, through the glory of the Roman Empire and the Renaissance right down to the lobbies of the world's leading hotels today, marble has always been used as a decorative element symbolizing pure beauty, opulence and abundance.Overt luxury unashamedly displayed, where discretion is certainly not the better part of valor!Marble, known as the "gleaming stone", had never been used to make writing instruments before now, on account both of the difficulties inherent in working with it and of its intrinsic fragility.With the assistance of the skilled artisans with whom it has the privilege to work, Visconti has succeeded in grinding marble to an infinitesimal thickness and at the same time it has brilliantly resolved the problem of the material's fragility thanks to the advanced technology developed in its workshop.The MaterialMillionaire's cap and barrel are both made of marble carved out of a slab 3 cm. thick.For marble to be used in the manufacture of a pen, it cannot have any cracks, it has to be structurally sound, and its marbling must be patterned in such a given way as to ensure that the pen enjoys uniformity.The marble is first sawn into square bars, then hollowed out internally, reinforced, turned on the lathe to the required size and finally polished.Thicknesses have been calculated to ensure that the pen's final weight is correct and that it conforms to standards of comfort for daily use.We have chosen four types of marble whose specifications are best suited to the manufacture of pens: Portoro Black; Issoire Green from the Alps; Valencia Cream; and Rain Forest Brown.All parts servicing and supporting the marble are made of resin and turned on the lathe from full bars, as always.
