Did a Montblanc Platinum ballpoint from the series '75 years Passion and Soul' exist, or is it necessarily a counterfeit?

Montblanc Identifying fakes FAQ entry

A Platinum variant of the Anniversary Edition '75 Years Passion and Soul' was never produced; offered were exclusively steel and black versions. Further typical fake features are the black case in the packaging, the inside white box (originals are inside black) as well as blurred product photos. Such writing instruments are produced at manufacturing costs of about 10 euros and offered for 100 to 150 dollars as originals. Caution: counterfeiters partly also use real original photos, so pictures alone are no authenticity guarantee.
