Noir et Noir and Rouge et Noir
- The Montblanc Noir et Noir and the Rouge et Noir pens were the precursor to the Bohéme lineup and they were launched in 1999 with a view to replace the previous Montblanc Noblesse Range as the mid-level Montblanc range. The Noir et Noir has the body in black resin with platinum-plated trim, a synthetic black onyx gemstone in a "paramount" cut at the end point of its clip and a 14-carat dual-tone retractable nib with the same design as the Meisterstuck range. The Rouge et Noir was exactly the same pen with a synthetic ruby gemstone instead of the onyx and gold-plated trim. Unlike the subsequent Bohéme pens, the Noir et Noir and the Rouge et Noir pens did not have the 3 trim rings and the word Boheme engraved on one of its rings.

Rouge
- The Montblanc Bohéme Rouge was the real first model of the Bohéme line and had all the characteristics that defined the range up until today. The Rouge has the body in black resin with gold-plated trim, a synthetic red ruby gemstone in a "paramount" cut at the end point of its clip and a 14-carat dual-tone nib with the same design as the Meisterstuck range. The Rouge fountain pen was made available in two variants: a retractable nib version and a fixed nib model, that also became known as the medium-sized Bohéme (it could use a converter, unlike the retractable nib version).
Noir
- The Montblanc Bohéme Noir was launched at the same time as the Rouge and it had the same design and variants as the Rouge, except that the trim was platinum-plated and the nib was a 14-carat single-tone rhodium plated version. Also, the jewel was a synthetic onyx, with the same cut as the original Noir et Noir version.

The prices given here are the low and high average found on the international market between the years 2014 and 2017. The difference between the lowest and the highest values can be due to such factors as the state of preservation, the provenience, the reputation of the seller, and the completeness of the offer (original case, documentation, ink accessories, etc.). Every collector should be fully aware of the difference between asking prices and price value, and between passion and investment.
