This is a masterpiece that is beyond reproach, not only in terms of quality but also in comfort, with a beautiful shape with a thick brow that has a strong mid-century feel and temples with a distinctive design.
Many replicas and copies of this model have been made, but this is the original from that time.
You can experience the exquisite details that were handmade by the craftsmen of the time, such as the rim shape and material, and the gold-filled process, which would be too costly with today's technology.

The pearl shell colored nose pads have been stored for over 50 years without any issues and there is no discoloration, making these deadstock items in perfect condition.
These vintage frames have a real feel and appeal that cannot be achieved by the many copies and replicas available.
