Description

For your consideration, we are pleased to offer for sale this exceptional 2002 Caran d'Ache La Poya Limited Edition Fountain Pen—No. 1503 of 2002—crafted with a stunning sterling silver filigree overlay and fitted with an 18K Medium gold nib. This pen is in pristine, never-inked condition and is classified as New Old Stock. It includes the original presentation boxes and complete documentation.

About the Edition:

La Poya celebrates a cherished Swiss tradition: the ceremonial springtime procession of cows to alpine pastures, known for its festive spirit and deep cultural roots in the Swiss Alps. Caran d'Ache pays tribute to this event with this finely crafted limited edition, restricted to just 2002 pieces worldwide—this one being number 1503.

Design & Craftsmanship:

The pen’s barrel is made of polished black resin and adorned with a meticulously sculpted rhodium-plated solid silver overlay. The filigree illustrates the legendary La Poya scene with extraordinary detail—each figure hand-finished to create depth, texture, and narrative. This overlay was designed by Edouard Jud, a master artisan from a distinguished lineage of Swiss craftsmen, whose expertise brings a unique vibrancy to each pen.

Additional design features include:

  • Cap Top: Embellished with an edelweiss, the national flower of Switzerland, set with a brilliant diamond at its center.
  • Clip: Shaped like the ladle traditionally used in Alpine cheesemaking—another subtle nod to Gruyère's pastoral culture.
  • Engravings: “Edouard Jud” and “800 Ag” stamped at the base, with the edition number “1503/2002” engraved on the cap band alongside “Caran d’Ache.”

Nib & Filling System:

The fountain pen features an 18K gold nib, marked “Caran d’Ache 18K/750” and designated Medium. The iridium tipping measures approximately .78mm when measured with digital calipers. The nib has never touched ink, ensuring pristine condition for the next user/collector.

Filling options include:

  • Converter: Included and tested with water for smooth function.
  • Caran d'Ache ink cartridges: Also compatible and included.

Condition & Dimensions:

  • Condition: Mint, never inked. No cracks, nicks, scratches, or signs of wear.
  • Length (capped): 5 9/16 inches
  • Weight: 2.41 ounces

Presentation & Packaging:

The pen is housed in its original Caran d’Ache lacquered wood presentation box with outer packaging. All original literature, warranty card, and documentation are included and in perfect condition.

The La Poya fountain pen is a magnificent example of Caran d’Ache’s commitment to fine artistry and storytelling through craftsmanship. A true heirloom-quality piece, it offers both aesthetic splendor and cultural significance. Whether added to a discerning collection or presented as a gift of distinction, this writing instrument is sure to captivate.

A rare opportunity to own a breathtaking piece of Swiss artistry—one that’s as meaningful as it is beautiful.
