Do you know what are the world's most expensive pens ever sold?

These pens are not for normal people these are for the real bosses, they are just not only pens these are a status symbol

1.   Tibaldi – Fulgor Nocturnus (€7,129,172/Rs61,23,09,176.65)

A pen made by Tibaldi has sold at an auction in Shanghai for a record-breaking $9 million. Named Fulgor Nocturnus, it's inspired by the 'divine' proportion of Phi.

The decorative aspect of the pens’ body is expertly created with 945 handset black diamonds. Whether the number of black diamonds is significant has never been mentioned. However, it bears mentioning that 945 are the exact number of elected officials in the Italian Parliament. Tibaldi is an Italian company after all, so it may be a nod to the ruling agency there.

In addition to the diamonds, the pen is set with 123 rubies, and the cap has sixteen clips above the caps’ button. The significance, if any, of these numbers, is unknown. Though the number of stones may simply be what fits on the body to make the desired pattern, one or both stone counts may have some particular undisclosed mathematical significance. Whatever the meanings amount to the sum is a great beauty with exquisite details, which create a unified, whole that is glorious and gorgeously balanced.

Fulgor Nocturnis comes with a golden nib. Gold has been used for quality nibs because it’s durable yet flexible. Not only does it give a smoother and more controlled line, but it also stands up to frequent use. Modern inks are less harsh, but when gold first became the metal of choice for pen making, the ink was mildly caustic and would otherwise damage a stunning pen.

2.   Aurora – The Aurora Diamante (€1,310,520/Rs11,25,57,730.71)

The Aurora Diamante has a barrel that is made exclusively from platinum, two hectograms to be precise. Platinum is a precious metal, and since they are priced depending on their weight, two hectograms are equal to two hundred grams, which is quite a significant weight hence the price. Besides, platinum is very scarce since it is not minded as much as other precious metals; hence, it is bound to be more expensive than the rest.

The Aurora Diamante must have been constructed with the rich as the target audience because it has a golden nib. With such a pen in hand, writing has never been as valuable, and it makes whatever you put down worth reading, even if it is a lame joke. The solid gold nib is 18 carats, and it contributes to the astronomical figure of $1.47 million.

Diamonds are undoubtedly the most preferred way of pimping any jewelry or accessories, and the minute they are added, the price tag skyrockets. Aurora Diamante is encrusted with 1,919 De Beers diamonds that weigh more than 30 carats. The choice of the manufacturer to use De Beers diamonds must be because they emphasize quality and De Beers is reputed as the world’s leading diamond firm, controlling 35% of the global diamond production.

3.   Montblanc– Mystery Masterpiece (€650,537/Rs5,58,73,217.09)

Both luxury houses Montblanc and Van Cleef & Arpels reached the century mark for their brands and there was a reason for each to celebrate. They got together to design a very special collaborative edition pen which would serve as a symbol of not only their successes but also to exhibit the craftsmanship and creativity of each company, giving the world a magnificent example which rolled two big names in the business into one unique masterpiece which would become the fourth most expensive pen in the world.

The white-gold fountain pen features a heavily jeweled overlay, designed by Van Cleef & Arpels, on the cap and barrel. The jeweler applied its hallmark Mystery Setting, which conceals the metal prongs that hold the jewels in place, producing a tile like a gem surface. The pen’s name refers to Van Cleef & Arpels’ stone-setting technique and to Montblanc’s most popular pen—the Meisterstück, which is The German word for “masterpiece.”

4.   Caran d’Ache – La Modernista Diamonds Pen (€236,153 /Rs2,02,82,670.83)

The manufacturer crafted only one of these special pens. It was made for a special occasion to honor the late Antonio Gaudi. Robert Perron designed and worked on this pen for no less than six months.

Produced in 1999, it hit the market two years afterward. Harrods, a luxury store in London, which is known for its expensive perfume collection, put this pen on sale in 2001. It was sold to a lucky buyer who remains anonymous. He spent $265,000 on this Caran d’Ache La Modernista Diamond pen.

When it says diamond, it means diamond. This rhodium-coated silver pen is encrusted with over 5,000 Wesselton diamonds, which weigh a total of 20 carats. And to beautify it, Perron added 96 rubies, which weigh a total of 32 carats. To top it off, he crafted the pen’s nib from rhodium-coated 18K gold.

 5. Montblanc – Prince Rainier III Limited Edition 81 Pen (€231,876/Rs1,99,15,328.55)

The Prince Rainier III Limited Edition 81 Pen was created in honor of Prince Rainier III of Monaco, with only 81 made in honor of the age at which the prince died.

The design thoughtfully incorporates an elaborate design through a skeletonized frame for the body, which is completed with artwork that culminates in the creation of a shield that presents the Grimaldi coat of arms in honor of Prince Rainier who was, in fact, a Grimaldi. Upon the skeleton-frame is over 8 carats worth of diamonds and rubies with a lozenge shape. The 996 diamonds are high quality, cut and faceted, and there are 92 rubies used in the pattern. The body of the pen is crafted of 18k white gold, which lies beneath the intricate placement of the precious gemstones. The nib of this pen is made from 18k gold as well, and the clip ring is lined with a total of 19 rubies.

The Prince Rainier III Limited Edition 81 made its appearance at a VIP charity event in honor of Prince Raine III, after his death. It was a star stubbed event with Prince Albert, his son in attendance, and celebrities such as Eva Green and Helena Christianson. The event was held in 2007, just two years after the passing of Rainier. This gala event featured the auction of one of the special Prince Rainier III Limited Edition 81 pens with proceeds going towards a foundation established by Princess Grace previously, to benefit children as well as the arts, two of the things she was passionate about in her own life.

Montegrappa honors the ancient Mexican civilizations for their contribution to the creation of indigenous writing systems.
It is believed the great Mexican cultures were so advanced that they created indigenous writing systems before the Europeans. This, in part, has inspired Montegrappa to honor the civilizations of Mexico, of which the five greatest were the Olmec, the Maya, the Teotihuacan, the Toltec and the Aztec. Decorating every surface of the pens are the engraved images of Mexican gods and glyphs, including the Aztec Sun God, with patterns reminiscent of distinctive Mayan architecture. The pen clip itself is fashioned after the sacrificial sword used by Mayan priests to dispatch their offerings to the gods. Available in sterling silver or solid 18K gold, both editions are finished with translucent enamel; there is an innovative all-bronze version as well.
