Cartier Diabolo Ballpoint Pen Black Blue Cabochon NOS 1992 Box Papers Germany For Sale

The pen has never been used for regular writing and has remained stored in its original Cartier presentation case for more than 30 years. It is being offered as New Old Stock (NOS) and presents beautifully, with a deep glossy black composite/resin body, polished silver-tone Cartier trim, and the signature blue cabochon at the finial.

This is a particularly attractive example because of its continuous one-owner history, original presentation box, Cartier paperwork, original Cartier refill, and outstanding overall condition.

Condition

Pen: New Old Stock / Never Used

The pen has never been used for regular writing. The original Cartier refill was recently tested only to confirm functionality and currently writes smoothly.

The black body remains glossy and clean with no cracks, chips, engraving, or significant handling wear observed. The polished metal trim presents exceptionally well, and the signature blue cabochon is intact.

Please review all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the condition description.

Original Cartier Presentation Box

The original red Cartier hinged presentation case is included.

The box remains structurally sound with its hinge, clasp, interior lining, and gold Cartier branding intact. There is a small localized area of surface wear/scuffing on the upper-right portion of the exterior lid, consistent with long-term storage.

This cosmetic wear is clearly shown in the photographs and does not affect the function or integrity of the case.

Included

• Original Cartier Diabolo ballpoint pen
• Original Cartier red hinged presentation case
• Original Cartier booklet / paperwork
• Original Cartier refill
• Original accompanying packaging/presentation materials shown in photographs

Provenance

This pen was personally received as a gift in 1992 and has remained with the original owner continuously since that time. It was stored in its Cartier presentation case and never put into regular use.

This provides an unusually clear ownership history for a vintage Cartier writing instrument.

Important Condition Note

While the pen itself is in outstanding unused condition, the original presentation box shows a small area of exterior surface wear from storage. This has been photographed clearly and is reflected in the description.

No attempt has been made to refinish, recolor, restore, or otherwise alter the original presentation box.
