A major icon of 20th-century culture, The King Elvis Presley has left a lasting mark on an entire generation. Considered one of the greatest musicians in the world, Elvis Presley was born in 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi, and spent much of his life in Memphis, Tennessee.
Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977), known simply as “the King”, is still celebrated today for electrifying the world with over 100 chart hits, over 1,300 concerts and 31 feature films. For his return to the stage after his stint in the army, he presented his rock ‘n’ roll hits with such power and explosiveness that this performance is viewed today as a highlight of his career. Four years later, Elvis made history with his concert “Aloha from Hawaii”, the first live concert broadcasted by satellite.
The gold-coated clip evokes Elvis’s love of V8 engines with its V shape and 8-hole design, while the handcrafted rhodium-coated 14K solid gold nib is engraved with the title of his hit song, ‘Jailhouse Rock’. The top of the clip is decorated with the initials “EP” like the design of his sunglasses. The Montblanc emblem on the cap top is combined with the ELVIS logo, the first time the iconic emblem has been adapted. The cap features a colorful Eagle with the words “Elvis on Stage.”
