The Waterman L'Etalon was made in France in the 1990s and was at the top of the Waterman range.
This is a fine example in deep Burgundy laquer with Gold filled trim and an 18 Ct. Gold medium nib. It is in immaculate condition, the pen came to me as unused and I have found no evidence to the contrary.
It is supplied in a leather pouch along with a waterman wallet containing an unused ink converter, six short cartridges and two long versions, and a Waterman branded soft drawstring bag.
At 15cm, (6 inches) in length when posted it is a substantial pen with an unmistakable high quality feel. A Waterman L'Etalon in mint condition is not an easy pen to find, this example is in collectable condition but perhaps such a handsome and prestigious pen should be used and shown off.
