The High Artistry A Tribute to the Great Wall Limited Edition of 333 pieces celebrates the symbolic significance of the Great Wall. It is said that the Great Wall winds across China like a giant dragon, protecting the country just as an emperor would protect his empire.
Symbolizing the curving protective walls surrounding China, the 18K solid gold barrel coating curls like a mighty dragon, decorated with nine dragon motifs, a lucky number in Chinese culture and associated with the Chinese dragon, a lucky number symbolizing magic and power.
This limited edition of 333 pens combines the symbolic colors of red and gold in a multi-layered effect created by a deep red translucent lacquer coating under a solid 18K gold frame. Red symbolizes fire, as well as happiness, beauty, vitality, luck, success. Gold symbolizes royalty and was traditionally reserved for emperors.
The handcrafted 18K solid gold nib features an engraving of a tower inspired by the famous signal towers of the Great Wall of China, while the mother-of-pearl Montblanc emblem sits on the cap of this edition.
