Cartier Louis Cartier Transatlantique fountain pen in Kotibe wood with palladium-finish trim, in its original red Cartier presentation box.

IDENTIFIED FROM THE PEN ITSELF, NOT GUESSED. The cap and barrel carry six straight engraved lines running top to bottom — the Transatlantique signature. The barrel is Kotibe, a tropical African hardwood used for this edition, with its characteristic reddish-brown straight grain. And the cap band is engraved 0109/1847 — number 109 of a limited run of 1847, read under magnification.

THE NIB. Two-tone, decoratively engraved with the Cartier device, mounted in a fluted metal section. This model is specified with an 18kt nib in yellow and white gold, rhodium-plated, which is exactly what the two-tone appearance shows. The karat stamp itself is not legible in photography, so it is described here as consistent with the model specification rather than asserted from a mark — inspect it on handover.

CONDITION. Very good. The wood is clean with no cracking, chipping or lifting at the joins, which are the usual failure points on a wood-barrel pen. Trim is bright with light handling wear only. Presents as carefully kept rather than heavily used.

WHAT IS AND IS NOT INCLUDED. Original red Cartier box, yes. Certificate, booklet and outer packaging, no — the box holds the pen alone. That is stated plainly because comparable sales of this edition that include the stamped booklet do command more, and a buyer expecting papers should know before they buy rather than after.

EDITION NUMBER 0109. Low numbers in a limited run are sought after by collectors, and 109 out of 1847 sits in the first six percent of the edition. The number is on the cap band and can be photographed for a buyer on request.

MARKET CONTEXT. The rollerball version of this edition in Kotibe wood, numbered 365/1847 and sold with its certificate, realised $999.99 on eBay on 1 July 2026. A specialist dealer listed the fountain pen version, numbered 0058/1847 with an 18k nib and its stamped booklet, at GBP 929.99 before selling out. Fountain pens in this line typically carry a premium over the rollerball; the absence of papers here offsets part of that.
