Ludwig II Limited Edition 5,
with pavé-set diamonds.
The image of a swan was a recurring motif throughout the king’s life,
beginning with the castle where he grew up, Hohenschwangau (“high region
of the swan”). This imagery recurs on the pen collection, which has been cre-
ated in four distinct versions, each with an elegantly curved clip reminiscent
of the graceful bird.
The most exclusive version of the collection, with only five pieces available,
is the Ludwig II Limited Edition 5, crafted in solid champagne-colored gold
in a Romanesque style, alight with pavé-set diamonds. The barrel features an
inlay of miniature plumasserie (feather art) framed by an opulent guilloche
pattern. The crown on the cap is set with a Montblanc diamond, of course.
The other versions of the pen include the Ludwig II Limited Edition 40, the
Ludwig II Limited Edition 888 and the Ludwig II Limited Edition 4810.
The Ludwig II Limited Edition 888
with an 18-karat gold overlay and
platinum-coated details.
