Parker Sonnet – Laque Black GT – Fountain Pen and Rollerball Set with 18-carat gold nib
The Parker Sonnet Laque Black GT writing set combines classic elegance with Parker’s long-standing tradition of fine writing instruments. The two-piece set comprises a fountain pen with an 18-carat gold nib and a matching rollerball pen. Both writing instruments feature a deep black, glossy lacquer finish with gold-coloured accents. The harmonious proportions and the characteristic Parker arrow clips lend the set a timeless, elegant appeal.
The barrels and caps are made of black-lacquered brass, whose smooth, glossy surface creates an attractive contrast to the gold-coloured decorative elements. Particularly striking are the wide cap rings with the engraved Parker lettering, the gold-plated arrow clips and the gold-coloured end pieces. The carefully coordinated details emphasise the classic design of the Sonnet collection.
The fountain pen is fitted with a high-quality, two-tone 18-carat gold nib (750) in medium width. The nib bears the Parker engraving and combines the characteristic aesthetics of a gold nib with a comfortable writing experience. The fountain pen can be used with Parker ink cartridges or a compatible converter. The black synthetic resin grip complements the elegant appearance.
The matching rollerball pen echoes the design of the fountain pen and features a gold-coloured writing tip. It offers a practical alternative for everyday use and can be fitted with a suitable Parker rollerball refill. Both writing instruments are approximately 13.3 cm long and have a diameter of around 1.1 cm. The caps are securely fastened by a push-fit mechanism.
The set is thought to date from the 1990s, an early phase of the Parker Sonnet collection launched in 1993. Both writing instruments are in very good second-hand condition with minimal signs of wear. The black lacquer finish is evenly preserved and shows no visible flaking. The gold-coloured fittings also retain a beautiful sheen. There are only slight signs of wear on the cap band. The gold nib is straight and shows no visible damage. Both writing instruments are described as in working order.
The set includes the original Parker hard-shell case in grey or graphite, featuring the Parker logo and a cream-coloured padded interior. The custom-fit holder provides space for both writing instruments. With its elegant design and high-quality gold nib, this Parker Sonnet set is an attractive writing accessory and an interesting collector’s item for lovers of classic writing instruments.
