This exceptional writing instrument is fitted with Visconti's legendary 23K Palladium Dreamtouch Medium nib and is accompanied by its original outer presentation box, luxurious burlwood display box, and warranty card. Carefully preserved throughout its life, this example remains in Near Mint to Mint condition, displaying only the faintest evidence of handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cosmopolitan represents one of Visconti's most ambitious and exclusive limited editions. Produced in extremely small numbers, it masterfully combines design elements from several of Visconti's most celebrated creations. The elegant spiral architecture of the cap and barrel recalls the iconic Divina, while the richly laminated Red Pearl celluloid evokes the depth and brilliance of vintage Parker Vacumatic celluloids from the 1930s and 1940s. The result is a writing instrument that feels both classically inspired and unmistakably modern—an exceptional showcase of Italian craftsmanship and artistic design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Red Pearl laminated celluloid is simply mesmerizing. Layers of vibrant crimson, ruby, burgundy, and luminous pearl create remarkable depth as the pen catches changing light, giving the material a warmth and vibrancy that only genuine celluloid can achieve. Complementing this extraordinary material is beautifully finished Sterling Silver Vermeil trim, richly plated in gold, providing an elegant contrast that enhances the Cosmopolitan's luxurious appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition is exceptional. The cap and barrel remain beautifully preserved with no cracks, chips, scratches, dents, or repairs. The highly polished celluloid retains its original brilliance, while the Vermeil trim remains bright with no plating wear. The signature Visconti bridge clip is crisply engraved on both sides, and the cap medallion displays the Visconti hallmark. The limited-edition number, 10\/22, is correctly engraved on the end of the patented Push \u0026amp; Pull Touchdown filling mechanism, while the filling rod is beautifully engraved \"COSMOPOLITAN\" around its circumference. The cap seats securely every time, preserving the pen's sculptural spiral profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fountain pen measures 5 7\/8 inches capped, 6 7\/8 inches posted, and weighs 1.44 ounces, offering a substantial yet exceptionally well-balanced feel that reflects Visconti's commitment to luxury writing instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe patented Push \u0026amp; Pull Touchdown filling system has been tested with water and operates exactly as designed, delivering smooth, reliable filling while remaining one of Visconti's more distinctive engineering achievements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of this remarkable pen is Visconti's celebrated 23K Pd950 two-tone Dreamtouch palladium nib—a nib widely regarded by enthusiasts as one of the finest Visconti has ever produced. Measuring approximately 0.81mm at the tipping with digital calipers, it writes an exceptionally smooth Medium line that naturally broadens from approximately 0.63mm to 0.95mm under moderate writing pressure. The writing sample shown was produced using this very pen after dip-testing only with Faber-Castell Cobalt Blue ink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinding a Visconti Cosmopolitan is difficult enough. Finding one finished in Red Pearl Celluloid, limited to only 22 examples worldwide, complete with its original presentation boxes and warranty card, and fitted with the highly sought-after 23K Dreamtouch nib, is considerably rarer. These pens seldom appear on the secondary market and have quietly become one of Visconti's most desirable modern limited editions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn extraordinary collector-grade Visconti that beautifully blends Italian artistry, genuine laminated celluloid, sterling vermeil craftsmanship, and one of the finest writing nibs ever produced. Whether displayed as the centerpiece of an advanced Visconti collection or ultimately enjoyed as an exceptional writer, this Cosmopolitan represents an opportunity that is unlikely to present itself often.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique Digger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49178196934964,"sku":null,"price":1876.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1862\/4123\/files\/2010ViscontiRedVermeilCosmopolitanLimitedEditionFountainPen1.jpg?v=1782940899","url":"https:\/\/antiquedigger.com\/en-ca\/products\/2010-visconti-cosmopolitan-red-pearl-limited-edition-10-22-fountain-pen-mint-boxed","provider":"Antique Digger","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
