Caran d'Ache 849 GOLDBAR Ballpoint Pen

In honour of the famous 849™ pen, Caran d'Ache is making news with the launch of the 849™ Goldbar, a brilliant model with all the allure of the ultimate safe investment. Faithful to the legend, it will capture the imagination of all collectors looking for an iconic reminder of Switzerland.

This year, the company draws special attention to its famous pen by creating a new version that is totally original while preserving all its particular qualities. Coated in the most desirable of the noble metals, the 849™ Goldbar becomes the timeless, dependable asset of 2012.

With its chic gold plating and its unmistakable modernity, this affordable pen is perfectly in tune with the times. Several processes have been combined to give the body its gold-coloured satin finish, and its fittings are coated with three microns of gold, creating a magnificent sparkle.

Its unique presentation box is inspired by the ingots of gold that lie stacked in strongly protected vaults. Reflecting the design of the pen, this rectangular packaging will permanently preserve the imprint of the hexagonal 849™.
