This is a Montblanc Limited Edition 88 in sealed condition 

Montblanc dedicates a very special limited edition to a few dragons that have become some of the most honored in East Asian culture. This year is dedicated to the Hovering Dragon. This character winds around the barrel and cap and has blue sapphires for eyes. While its artfully sculpted head decorates the handcrafted Ag 925 sterling silver cap, its body molds itself to the barrel as a delicate engraving studded with diamonds, as the meaning of 璃 is ‘crystal mineral’ or, originally, ‘colored glaze’. The white and light blue color gradient of the barrel’s lacquer surface refers to the cloudy celestial spheres where the Hovering Dragon reigns. The design is further enriched with fittings made of Au 750 solid signature gold and a blue iolite set in the cone. The handcrafted nib, made of Au 750 solid gold, bears a delicate engraving of auspicious waves, for the 9th son of the dragon, the fish-like Chi Wen, the ruler of water, acting as protector against floods and fire hazards in imperial roof decorations and classical Chinese architecture. The cap top is crowned with the Montblanc emblem inlaid in black onyx and covered with sapphire glass.   MB129577
