The S.T. Dupont D57 is the first-ever gas lighter from the renowned French luxury brand S.T. Dupont, produced in the 1950s.
The model represented a genuine technological breakthrough and served as a bridge between early petrol lighters and the legendary Ligne 1 series.
Gas-powered: The lighter runs on butane rather than gasoline (unlike the earlier Essence series). Unusual valve: The gas refill valve is located on the bottom edge, positioned off-center to the side. Refilling older models often requires a special adapter or canisters with older-style nozzles. Unique mechanism: Unlike modern models, the gas flow is directly linked to the flint wheel—gas is released only while the wheel is being turned.
The lighter is in working order but has a gas leak.
