The Sailor Antoni Gaudi "Pluma Parabolica" is a rare, sculptural masterpiece released in 2003 to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the legendary Catalan architect earning his degree. This limited edition of only 300 pieces worldwide is a true collector's item, merging the structural genius of Gaudi with the pinnacle of Japanese nib craftsmanship.

Design & Architecture

• Surreal Silhouette: The pen is crafted from solid brass and features a sinuous, twisting form that echoes the "paraboloid" shapes and warped Gothic style of Gaudi’s most famous works, such as the Sagrada Família and Casa Milà.

  
  

   

• Unique Patina: Its surface is finished with a specialized silver-grey patina designed to mimic the raw stone of Gaudi's unadorned buildings, though it often reveals warm brass undertones in direct light.

  
  

   

• Substantial Weight: Due to its solid brass construction, the pen has a significant presence, weighing approximately 66 grams, offering a very different feel compared to Sailor's standard resin models.

The Nagahara Nib

The soul of the Gaudi edition is its specialized nib, designed by the legendary master nib-maker Mr. Nobuyoshi Nagahara.

• Semi-Hooded Design: The 21K gold nib is partially hooded, with the shape of the hood inspired by the iconic "chimney pots" found on the roof of Casa Milà.

   

• Naginata-Togi Grind: These pens typically feature a Naginata-Togi grind, known for its ability to produce varying line widths based on the writing angle. Unlike standard Japanese nibs, these were tuned to write as "true" Western Medium or Broad sizes.

   

Technical Specifications

• Filling System: Utilizes Sailor’s standard proprietary cartridge or converter system.

• Limited Edition: Each pen is individually numbered (e.g., #23/300) to ensure authenticity.

   

• Presentation: Originally shipped in a specialized blue collector's box with a polishing cloth, paperwork, and sometimes a thematic keychain. Does Not come with bottle of ink.
