Waterman Carene Red Coral 4-Piece Writing Set

This is a premium four-piece writing set from the Waterman 'Carene' collection, presented in its original branded hard-shell case. The set includes a fountain pen, a rollerball pen, a ballpoint pen, and a mechanical pencil. Each instrument features a vibrant red lacquer barrel and cap, which is a signature finish for this marine-inspired line. The design is characterized by sleek, aerodynamic curves reminiscent of a luxury yacht's hull. The fountain pen is equipped with a distinctive 18k gold inlaid nib, which is a hallmark of the Carene's high-end craftsmanship. All pieces are accented with high-polish 23k gold-plated trim, including the iconic articulated pocket clips that bear the Waterman 'W' hexagon logo. The condition appears to be excellent, bordering on New-Old-Stock (NOS), with high luster preserved on the lacquer and no visible signs of brassing on the gold plating. The case is lined in a white satin-like fabric with the 'WATERMAN PARIS' logo printed on the interior lid. This collection likely dates from the late 1990s to the early 2000s, representing a period of refined French luxury stationery manufacturing. The uniform color and model matching make this a rare complete desk set for collectors.
