About the Item

A monumental one-of-one fountain pen sculpted as a full three-dimensional imperial dragon, created by master lapidary Luis Alberto Quispe Aparicio and retailed by S.T. Dupont, Atelier Haute Création. The pen presents as a display sculpture on its custom stand; the body separates at the mid-torso to reveal the writing section. A presentation of haute French craftsmanship fused with museum-level hardstone carving, this piece is individually numbered “S.T. Dupont N° 1/1” on the base plaque. Main Stone: Nephrite Jade from British Columbia (Canada) Base: Obsidian Metal Work: Gold Plated Bronze Diamonds: 4 pcs round 1.5 mm and 8 pcs round 1.0 mm Quality: VS1 Color H - Total weight 0.2 cts Nephrite Jade: 755 grams Obsidian: 288 grams This extraordinary unique 1/1 masterpiece was commissioned in 2018 by the CEO of S.T. Dupont as a personal request to world-renowned lapidary artist Luis Alberto Quispe Aparicio. Crafted exclusively for a prominent Japanese V.I.P. collector, whose identity remains confidential, this pen stands as a singular creation — never replicated and unavailable to the public. Executed with exceptional precision and artistic vision, this piece represents the rare intersection of haute French luxury heritage and museum-level gemstone artistry. S.T. Dupont entrusted Luis Alberto, celebrated for transforming precious stones into sculptural treasures, to bring this one-of-a-kind vision to life. This pen embodies ultimate discretion, rarity, and prestige — a private commission that elevates it far beyond limited editions and into the realm of true collectors’ art objects. A complete set having the original base, box and box cover. For the distinguished collector who's looking for 1/1 items.
