The Waterman Laureat Fountain Pen - Grey Marble combines the Laureat collection's characteristic proportions with the Grey Marble finish. Designed and manufactured in France, this fountain pen reflects Waterman's emphasis on refined materials, balanced handling, and a distinctly Parisian approach to everyday writing.
The Laureat Collection
Produced from the mid-1980s into the late 1990s, the Laureat combined lacquered brass construction with a streamlined cylindrical profile. It sits within the same design era as the Maestro and Expert, but its slightly slimmer body and secure posting shape give it a distinct balance in the hand.
Finish and Materials
The Grey Marble treatment uses layered lacquer with irregular veining rather than a flat single color. As the instrument turns in the light, darker lines and lighter mineral-like areas move across the body, giving each example more visual depth than a conventional gloss finish.
Writing Experience
The stainless steel Medium nib provides a smooth, practical line for correspondence, journaling, and everyday notes. The cartridge-converter filling system accepts Waterman cartridges or bottled fountain pen ink through a compatible converter.
Collector Perspective
The Laureat is often overlooked beside better-known Waterman collections, yet its long production run, marbled lacquers, and coordinated writing formats make it an important part of the brand's modern history.
