Celebrating Cartier's almost century-old creative alliance with China, the Dragon Décor Limited Edition is resplendent with the artistry for which Cartier is known the world over. Clouds glide over body and cap of midnight blue lacquer. A palladium-finished exquisitely detailed sterling silver dragon with pure emerald eyes climbs the cap. A Mother-of-Pearl cabochon is set into the barrel's end. Because the number 8 is deemed by many to represent eternity and perfection, 888 numbered instruments have been crafted. They are presented with a crystal stand, and fill by converter, via a rhodium-plated 18kt gold nib.
