Record status
Individual type · partial
Period
1998
The cap is uniquely shaped to mirror a traditional boxing sack, finished in a textured blue guilloche lacquering with hand-engraved solid Au 750 gold inlays that depict a boxing glove and a peace dove.
In celebration of his historic third world title, the iconic Montblanc star emblem crowning the cap is beautifully cast with the numeral "3" in solid Au 750 gold. The gold-coated cap ring is further enriched with a precise engraving of Ali’s victory pose alongside the text "TKO-W-7 (15)", capturing his technical knockout victory in the 7th round. The skeletonized gold clip, inscribed with his name "ALI," takes inspiration from the distinct architecture of a championship boxing belt.
Constructed with an intricately patterned solid Au 750 rhodium-coated gold overlay, the vibrant barrel reflects the multi-colored windows of the famed Muhammad Ali Center in Louisville, Kentucky. Uncapping the pen reveals a polished forepart engraved with Ali’s six core principles, leading down to a hand-crafted solid Au 750 gold nib featuring a custom-embossed celebratory motif.
