It is quintessentially feminine, regal and reminiscent of Grace Kelly's fresh, natural beauty.Drawing on Montblanc's heritage of beautiful and refined design combined with the finest craftsmanship this writing instrument is, like Grace Kelly herself, inimitable.The Special Edition Princesse Grace de Monaco Ivory Colour is available as a cartridge fountain pen, a rollerball and a ballpoint pen.It features the Montblanc emblem in black and white resin and a 585 rhodium-plated solid gold nib round off this exquisite edition.
