Description

For your consideration, we are pleased to offer this exquisite circa 2004 S.T. Dupont Olympio Fountain Pen in the striking Red Placed Metal Laque de Chine finish, fitted with a smooth-writing 18K medium nib. This pen is in mint condition and comes complete with its original box, literature, and a set of unused ink cartridges. It has never been inked apart from creating the writing sample you see in the image of this listing.

The cap and barrel are crafted in Dupont’s signature Chinese lacquer, a labor-intensive process that takes up to five months to complete. The result is a deep, vibrant red finish with a hand-polished sheen that beautifully complements the palladium-plated trim. The lacquer is pristine, with no signs of loss, fading, or blemish. The cap fits securely to the barrel with a satisfying friction fit and shows no signs of wear. The clip is stamped "MADE IN FRANCE 5H9AS09," and the top cap ring is stamped with "pl Laque de Chine." The palladium-plated barrel ring is stamped with, "S.T. DuPont, Paris." There are no personalizations or engravings of any kind.

This is the larger Olympio model, measuring 5 7/8 inches capped and 6 inches posted, offering a substantial yet balanced feel in hand. The pen accepts either standard international cartridges or an ink converter, both of which are included. 

The nib is crafted in solid 18K gold and writes with remarkable smoothness. The medium tip measures approximately 0.78mm and delivers a consistent, fluid line. For the writing sample, the nib was dipped in Graf von Faber-Castell Cobalt Blue ink, producing strokes ranging from 0.69mm to 0.85mm when measured with digital calipers.

This pen comes with everything originally included at purchase—box, documentation, and ink cartridges—all preserved in excellent condition. Originally introduced in the mid-1990s, this example was purchased in 2004 and remains a standout among the lacquer finishes Dupont offered at the time.

With its vivid red lacquer, elegant Palladium-plated lines, with an exceptionally smooth writing nib. This S.T. DuPont Olympio fountain pen is a superb writing instrument and a fine example of S.T. DuPont's craftsmanship. Whether you're a dedicated user or a collector, this pen is ready for use or display and would be a striking addition to any writing arsenal collection.
