A Rollagas slim lighter in gold-plated engine-turned finish by Dunhill, Switzerland, late 20th century

£195.00

An elegant Dunhill Rollagas Slim lighter, produced in Switzerland in the late 20th century, exemplifying the brand’s refined approach to form, proportion, and mechanical precision. The elongated, slender silhouette distinguishes this model from the standard Rollagas, offering a more streamlined and discreet profile while retaining a strong architectural presence.

The body is finished in gold-plated metal with a finely executed vertical engine-turned pattern, creating a continuous rhythm of parallel lines that accentuate the lighter’s height and slender proportions. This linear decoration is complemented by softly rounded edges and a gently curved top, lending the piece a harmonious balance between geometry and fluidity. The recessed side panel houses the ribbed gas adjustment wheel, seamlessly integrated into the design while providing tactile functionality.

The hinged cap follows the oval contour of the body and opens to reveal the classic Rollagas ignition mechanism, a hallmark of Dunhill’s engineering excellence. Inside the lid, a subtle decorative detail enhances the sense of craftsmanship, while the overall construction reflects precision and durability. The base is engraved “Dunhill,” along with patent references and “Made in Switzerland,” confirming its authenticity.

Rooted in late 20th-century luxury design, this model reflects a preference for clean lines and understated ornamentation, where the richness of the gold finish is balanced by disciplined, finely controlled surface detailing. A refined and collectible Dunhill Rollagas Slim, notable for its elongated form and classic gold engine-turned finish.

Condition: good vintage condition with visible surface wear, including light scratches, minor rubbing to the gold plating, and small areas of wear consistent with age and use. The engraved markings remain clear. Please refer to photographs.

Dimensions: 73mm high, 19mm wide, 13mm deep
