Released as part of their esteemed Writers Edition series in 1999, this exquisite pen pays tribute to the legendary French author, Marcel Proust, who is best known for his monumental work, “In Search of Lost Time.”
The Marcel Proust Ballpoint Pen showcases the intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail that Montblanc is renowned for. Its design is inspired by Proust’s literary style and the Art Nouveau movement, which was popular during his lifetime. The pen’s body and cap are made of 925 sterling silver, featuring delicate guilloche engravings that mimic the swirling patterns often associated with Art Nouveau. These engravings not only add a touch of visual elegance but also provide a pleasant texture when holding the pen.
The clip and rings of the Marcel Proust Ballpoint Pen are plated with 18-karat gold, creating a beautiful contrast against the sterling silver body. The Montblanc emblem, made of white star-shaped resin, is prominently displayed on the cap’s top, signifying the brand’s prestigious reputation.

My Montblanc Marcel Proust pen is not in the best condition. I bought it without a box and with some damage. I have cleaned and repaired some parts, but it still has its flaws. However, it doesn’t matter, as I got it at a good price. Overall, it is a beautiful silver pen that can develop a nice patina.
