{"product_id":"waterman-patrician-lapis-blue-fountain-pen","title":"Waterman Le Man 100 Patrician Lapis Blue Fountain Pen","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Waterman Patrician Lapis Blue Fountain Pen is one of the most striking modern revivals of Waterman’s historic Patrician name. Introduced in the early 1990s as part of the Man 100 family, the Patrician revived design cues from Waterman’s celebrated 1930s pens while interpreting them through richly layered lacquer and substantial modern construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCraftsmanship \u0026amp; Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lapis Blue finish is built from multiple layers of lacquer over a substantial underlying body, producing a deep blue surface with lighter mineral-like variation intended to recall the vivid celluloid colors of the original Patrician era. Gold-plated trim, including the cap bands and Waterman Ideal globe detail, gives the pen a formal period-inspired contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe overall silhouette is based on the Man 100, but the Patrician treatment adds more elaborate color and decorative detail. Its combination of weight, lacquer depth, and traditional Waterman styling gives it a presence that is difficult to replicate in more recent production pens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWriting Experience\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example is fitted with an 18k gold Fine nib and uses a cartridge\/converter filling system. The Fine point provides a controlled everyday line, while the filling system allows convenient cartridge use or bottled ink through a converter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCollector Significance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe modern Lapis Blue Patrician has become increasingly sought after among Waterman collectors, particularly in New Old Stock condition. Its vivid blue lacquer, classic gold trim, and connection to both the Man 100 and historic Patrician families give it a distinctive place in Waterman’s modern catalog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollection: Patrician \/ Man 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Lapis Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWriting Type: Fountain Pen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrimary Color: Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNib: Fine, 18k Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilling System: Cartridge Converter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of Origin: France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New Old Stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresentation: Original box included; interior lining shows age-related peeling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Waterman","offers":[{"title":"Fine","offer_id":67629748388115,"sku":null,"price":899.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2083\/6627\/files\/Waterman-Le-Man-100-Patrician-Lapis-Blue-Fountain-Pen-uncapped-leaning.jpg?v=1791482874","url":"https:\/\/www.truphaeinc.com\/products\/waterman-patrician-lapis-blue-fountain-pen","provider":"Truphae","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
