The pen is dedicated to the foundation of the city of Rhodes in 408 BC. when the island's three city states united: Ialysos in the north, Lindos in the east and Kamiros in the west, all three once ruled by the so-called grandsons of Helios, the sun god. They founded the capital of the island on the northern tip and called it Rhodes, thus also giving its name to this sunny and fertile island.

The "Colossus of Rhodes" fountain pen was made in the year 2005 and is limited to 408 pieces. This fountain pen pays homage to a technical and artistic masterpiece unique in terms of size and grandeur. The bronze statue of the Greek god Helios, the worshiped sun god and patron saint of the Aegean island of Rhodes, was crafted with exceptional architectural and artistic skill. Only specially selected materials were used, such as marble for the pedestal, iron for the internal frame and bronze, partially finished with gold, for the external skin.

The Pelikan fountain pen, which like its historical model, is partly made of bronze, combines traditional craftsmanship with the highest degree of design and technical expertise. The precious writing instrument is presented in an artistically designed case that recalls the stylized port of Rhodes where the statue is said to have once stood.
