Made in the 1980’s, this was one of the first Persol models to feature this soft square shape with thin, elegant temples. At the time, Persol was the sunglass of choice for extreme activities from rally racing and mountaineering to alpine climbing and even space exploration. This particular design recalls the rally models developed for car racers, and features an early version of Persol’s signature arrow design in gold with additional gold inserts in the ‘Meflecto’ system.
