Luxury Pens Blog

A few weeks ago we talked about some of the most expensive luxury pens, but one pen we didn’t talk about was the Montblanc Meisterstuck Solitaire Royal LeGrand, also known as the Diamond Solitaire. With a name like that, you know this isn’t some cheap Bic ballpoint! The pen is just one of 200 luxury pens that will be sold at the upcoming Bonhams & Butterfields sale of Fine Writing Instruments in LA on May 23rd. People are expecting the pen to sell for at least $175,000 –which is more than an Aston Martin.

The pen is encrusted with over 4,600 brilliant cut white diamonds! The barrel is 18k yellow gold and the cap is composed of seven diamonds as well. When the pen was created, Montblanc only made small quantities, making this a rare and exclusive pen to own –hence the high price tag. Another luxury pen people are looking forward to is the Montblanc Sir Winston Churchhill pen. It is one of 53 made. Churchill was quite fond of Monttblancs and used them to sign many important documents. This pen is 18k rose gold. The cap has 53 diamonds and is estimated to be worth $15,000-$25,000.

Did you really think there were only 3 crazy expensive luxury pens in the world? Of course you didn’t! So let’s continue wishing we had enough money to purchase these gorgeous luxury pens!

This beautifully crafted pen sells for $60,000 and is made of platinum and yellow enamel. The nib is engraved and made of 18k gold. If you can afford the Omas Phoenix Platinum, you’ll certainly make others jealous.

The Visconti Alchemy HRH pen is handcrafted and is only a mere $57,000. Unlike most pens, this one has two nibs and two ink reservoirs. It is trimmed with both gold and silver. Both nibs are 18k gold and 4k diamonds and rubies adorn each side of the pen.

Another pen by Omas, but this one is known as Marte and is much cheaper, selling at $43,000. The name means Mars in Italian and the pen actually has a map of Mars on it in rose gold. The pen features the deserts, mountains, and craters that decorate our red planet. Only 30 were made, so good luck finding one. I think this one is my favorite simply because the design on the pen is just so intricate. And who would have thought to put Mars on a pen?!

We all love searching for the most beautiful luxury pens and Montgomery Pens certainly has many to choose from, but none compare to the most expensive luxury pens in the world. Even we are floored at these price tags! Check out these stunning pens:

The Aurora Diamante is the most expensive pen in the world, costing $1,470,600! The pen is covered in over 30 De Beers diamonds on a solid platinum barrel. The nib is 18k solid gold. The pen is customized with a personal coat of arms, portrait, or signature. Only one is sold per year.

The Mystery Masterpiece is actually a limited edition pen created by both Mont Blanc and Van Cleef & Arpels. There are three versions, each with either rubies, sapphires, or emeralds. The design is truly one-of-a-kind. This pen will set you back $730,000.

La Modernista Diamonds was crafted by Caran d’Ache in 1999. It is an homage to the modern architect Antonio Gaudi. At the time, it was the most expensive pen in the world, selling for $265,000. It made it into the Guinness Book of World Records in 2001. It is set with 5,072 Wesselton diamonds and weighs 20 carats.

It’s not shocking that the former presidents had love affairs with luxury pens. After all, they were signing some pretty important documents. You can’t use a plain Bic pen to sign legislative laws! But did you know that President Obama used 22 luxury pens to sign the Health Care Bill last year? No, he didn’t have a severe case of OCD nor did he have terrible pens that kept running out of ink. There is actually a tradition in Washington that the President signs important legislative bills with multiples pens.

We’re not sure how old this tradition is, but we do know it dates back to at least President Roosevelt. Any pen used is automatically considered an historic artifact. The White House will usually engrave the pens and give them as keepsakes to significant supporters of the legislation. Lydon Johnson actually used over 75 pens to sign the Civil Rights Act and gave one of them to Martin Luther King Jr.

Not all pens end up in someone else’s home. Some are used again, while others can be found in museums. It must be a great honor though to own a little piece of legislative history. I wonder if the President has been know to get a hand cramp after all that signing!
