Cross peerless 125 23kt gold-plated ballpoint pen is the best writing instrument we have ever launched. Cross peerless 125 is designed to celebrate our legacy and is the best writing instrument we have ever launched. It celebrates two major milestones in the history of the brand – the debut of the original peerless pen in 1889 and the launch of the legendary century line in 1935. We have created a collection that combines elements of these two classic designs to create the simple, embodies beautiful design language and the attention to detail that has made the cross brand legendary.
