An icon reborn. Persol�s limited edition Steve McQueen 714.
Over fifty years after its original release Persol�s 714 model remains one of the most classic sunglasses of all time. Since its inception the pioneering foldable frame was the epitome of timeless design and style � However, it was undeniably elevated to legendary status by the iconic �King of Cool�, the late Steve McQueen.
Worn by McQueen both off screen and on, in movies such as �The Getaway� and most notably �The Thomas Crown Affair� where he unforgettably sported a pair of 714�s with lenses he had custom tinted blue (be sure to ask us about our custom lens work).
To pay tribute to the 714�s history and the man who cemented its legacy, Persol has released a very limited Steve McQueen edition of the timeless frame, the �714SM�. There are a couple key and cool distinctions between the 714 and the limited 714SM, including: inward folding hinges which showcase the signature Persol double arrow, as it was originally in the 1960�s and on the pair McQueen wore. As well as a premium Italian leather pouch which easily slips into a coat pocket.
This classic honey tortoise frame is fitted with Persol�s glass lenses tinted a cool shade of gradient blue. Some of the most technologically advanced lenses made, these lenses are both polarized and feature a back side anti-reflective coating, to help eliminate glare from both in front and behind.
