The Graf von Faber-Castell Pen of the Year 2005 gives Galuchat stingray leather a striking setting, framing its pearl-like mosaic in platinum plating.
Galuchat is stingray leather, prized in Art Deco decorative work for its pearl-like surface. The leather is carefully selected and vat-tanned, then worked through more than thirty additional steps to create the barrel. Each pen has its own mosaic pattern, framed by platinum-plated metal parts and a matching bridge.
This magnum-format fountain pen has a hand-finished 18k two-tone gold nib and a piston filling system for bottled ink. The individual edition number appears on the head of the filling mechanism. A wooden case, booklet, and edition certificate accompany the pen.
