Dunhill presents a bent Apple here that is uncommon in shape and size, making it even more versatile and appealing. The "13" offering is rendered in Group 2 size for a rare combination, with the small, forward-urging bowl featuring a lifted heel and a more squat design than is often seen in Apple shapes. A tight transition and sinuous S-curve imbue this piece with even more gracefulness, with the overall aesthetic being that of an elegant, high-quality pipe.
One of the most fashionable finishes in all of pipe making and one that inspired an entire aesthetic, Dunhill's Dress finish was first introduced in 1973 and is meant to elegantly complement a tuxedo or similar formal wear, perfect for a night on the town. Characterized by its glossy, jet-black stain and sterling silver accent band, the Dress finish exudes class and imbues each pipe it adorns with a sense of refinement and sophistication. It's the progenitor of the term "dress pipe," now used to reference any black-and-silver pipe, and is one of the most distinctive finishes in all of pipedom.
