Cartier Diabolo de Cartier "Flame" Mini Ballpoint Pen in Black Composite & Gold-Plated Finish from 2002

This Cartier Mini Diabolo de Cartier Ballpoint Pen, known as the "Flame", is a refined vintage writing instrument distinguished by its elegant proportions and unmistakable Maison detailing. The design pairs a polished black composite body with gold-plated appointments, including a sculpted clip, decorative bands, and a finely finished writing tip. Crowning the cap is the collection’s signature red cabochon finial, adding a discreet touch of colour to the classic black-and-gold composition. 

Compact and beautifully balanced, the Mini Diabolo captures Cartier’s approach to everyday objects: functional, meticulously executed, and immediately recognizable. Its slender silhouette makes it particularly comfortable to carry, while the richly polished finish gives the piece the character of a personal accessory as much as a writing instrument.

This preserved vintage example is presented in excellent condition and may show only minor, insignificant signs of previous handling consistent with its age. It is accompanied by its original Cartier red presentation box, user guide, spare ballpoint refill, and International Guarantee Certificate dated 29 July 2002. The outer protective box is not included.
