The Pelikan M800 Raden Royal Gold was released in 2017 as part of Pelikan's prestigious Raden series, limited to 388 pieces worldwide. Built on the iconic Pelikan M800 piston-fill fountain pen, this pen represents a masterful fusion of traditional Japanese raden lacquerwork and contemporary luxury craftsmanship.
The Secret Behind the Gold
What makes this pen truly extraordinary is the layer of gold foil embedded beneath the raden (mother-of-pearl) surface. Viewed from a distance, the entire pen radiates a warm, lustrous golden glow. Look closer, and the mother-of-pearl reveals its signature iridescent shimmer — shifting through red, green, blue, and violet as the viewing angle changes, like sunlight dancing across the surface of the sea. This dual-layer visual effect makes every single pen utterly unique and impossible to replicate.
