| The Spirit of Gaudi Antoni Gaudi, born in 1852, became one of the most famous Modernist architects in the world. This pen and its case are Pelikan's tribute to Gaudi and one of his best-known structures, "La Pedrera," the Casa Milà in Barcelona. The sterling silver overlay on the pen is a representation of the grillworks in the Casa and the case is modeled after one of the fantastical chimneys on the roof. All this information, and more, is contained in the pen's round brochure, pictured below. | |
| The cast case is made of silver plated
"zamac", a metal alloy. The package with its outer box weighs in at
just over four pounds. The Pelikan clip is nickel-silver and the nib, although the same size as any standard M800 is rhodium plated. Fines only are available at this time. Of course the nib can be interchanged with the entire line of Pelikan M800 gold and white nibs. |  |

| The Sterling Silver overlay of this pen divides the spaces into what I learned in art school as biomorphic forms. At 32 grams, this pen is no lightweight. | |

| Extensive documentation accompanies the Gaudi. Pictures of his architecture, both interior and exterior as well as side by side comparisons with this fountain pen are enclosed within two round format booklets. Found just under the cap of the cylindrical box, these booklets also show the usual Pelikan filling instructions and the number in the series of 1000 limited edition pens. |  | |
| The retail price on the Gaudi is $2000.00. Our price is $1600.00 SOLD OUT | ||
