Porsche Design’s golden gem

German luxury brand Porsche Design has launched one of the world's most exclusive writing tools for pen aficionados: the P’3135 Solid Gold Limited Edition fountain pen, crafted from a single piece of solid gold. Retailing at €25,000, this distinctive writing instrument is limited to 11 pieces worldwide and will be exclusively available at selected Porsche Design stores from mid-April 2015.

Pure silhouette

The P'3135 Solid Gold is milled out of a single piece of solid pure 14-/585 carat gold. The progressive, pure silhouette underlines the fountain pen’s distinctive shape, and is rounded off by the integral 18-/750 carat gold nib which was specially designed to highlight its elegance. The Porsche Design brand emblem is discreetly engraved on the surface of the nib and a limited-edition number is lasered on the barrel.

The mechanism is innovatively concealed in the shaft that is exclusively finished with 14-/585 carat gold coating. When gentle pressure is applied to the end of the pen and the end piece is unscrewed, the mechanism can be removed and the converter can be filled with ink.

The presentation box contains a gold-plated tag showing the number of each fountain pen.
