The amptuous papal insignia, famed throughout the world, are reflected in every detail of the Limited Edition Pope Julius II: 750 solid gold lattice-work and reddish brown lacquered base with its fine guilloche design are reminiscence of the colours of the clothing worn by the supreme pontiff. The exquisite hand-engraved top of the cap, with the Montblanc star in mother-of-pearl, represents the tiara, the papal crown. The 18 carat gold nib features the finely engraved emblem of the pope who led the Church and promoted art in a way virtually unrivalled before or after, thereby paying tributes to the Pope Julius II. 

Widely considered to be one of the most influential patrons of art, Pope Julius II consolidated the papal states and transformed Rome into the cultural center of the Renaissance. He supported Michelangelo and Raphael, among others, and commissioned the famous frescoes in the Sistine Chapel and ordered the design and construction of St. Peters. Montblanc's tribute pen, their 2005 Patron of the Arts Limited Edition, is 18K solid gold overlay over a red guilloche lacquer base. The pen is crowned with a cap that bears resemblance to the shape of the papal tiara, and the nib is engraved with the Pontifex Maximum coat of arms.
