This exceptional vintage S.T. Dupont lighter was crafted in the 1980s and represents a highly refined example from the Gatsby Gainierie Lézard series. Finished in a rich 24k gold surface and wrapped in authentic lizard leather in a deep red Bordeaux tone, the lighter reflects S.T. Dupont’s mastery of combining precious metals with rare natural materials. The Gainierie Lézard line was produced in extremely limited quantities due to the complexity of sourcing and working genuine exotic leather, making surviving examples particularly scarce. The bold Gatsby form paired with the textured leather covering gives this piece a distinctive presence and strong collector appeal. Preserved as a complete original set, this lighter has been test-fired and remains in outstanding condition, presenting as a rare and visually striking example of 1980s S.T. Dupont craftsmanship.
