An elegant S.T. Dupont Ligne 1 small size lighter, crafted in gold plate with the maison’s distinctive precision engineering and refined proportions. The body features the classic diamond-point guilloché pattern, giving the surface a rich texture and subtle play of light. The vertically ribbed roller and clean rectangular form are hallmarks of the Ligne 1 design, a model celebrated for its reliability and timeless sophistication.
Stamped to the base “S.T. Dupont Paris – Made in France” and marked 20µ, indicating gold plating thickness. Presented with its original box and accompanying papers, adding to its collectability and appeal. A refined accessory that perfectly captures the understated luxury associated with the Dupont name.

Dupont continues to set the standard for luxury accessories, blending heritage techniques with contemporary design.
