Platinum is known to have a higher density than gold, making it harder to work with but also more durable. Platinum is often mixed with alloys such as ruthenium and iridium, and once set is known to be resistant to scratching and tarnishing. It is also rarer than gold, making it more expensive.

Similar to its fountain pen sibling, the Montblanc Platinum-Coated Le Grand ballpoint pen features trims coated with platinum, a welcome change to the usual gold. We have for sale a pre-owned unit in good condition with almost no signs of use. We’re offering only the ballpoint pen and a refill, no box or papers.
