The platinum-plated 18 kt gold tip can be retracted with a rotating motion. It is finely engraved with two sugar canes, an allusion to the raw material that allowed Sir Henry Tate, The exclusive edition also includes the "Sir Henry Tate" fountain pen, of which only 888 were manufactured. Made of solid white 750 gold and completed with grey lacquer inlays. The cap’s head is surrounded by a series of square-cut diamonds.
