Introduced by S.T. Dupont in 2006, the Classique Côte d'Azur Ballpoint combines a vibrant blue lacquer barrel with a palladium-plated Diamond Head cap. Named after the famed French Riviera, Côte d'Azur translates to "Blue Coast," a reference to the brilliant blue waters of France's Mediterranean shoreline. The contrast between the vivid lacquer and the geometric guilloche pattern creates one of the more distinctive finishes produced for the Classique collection.
With its slim profile, refined proportions, and discontinued Côte d'Azur finish, reference 045274N has become increasingly difficult to find. This example includes both a ballpoint refill and the original mechanical pencil conversion mechanism, allowing it to function as either a ballpoint pen or pencil—an increasingly uncommon feature that adds to its appeal among collectors of vintage S.T. Dupont writing instruments.
