“If you analyze the function of an object, its form often becomes obvious”-Porsche Design
The Porsche Design Studio was established in 1972 by Professor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, grandson of the Porsche founder and designer of the famed Porsche 911. The Studio has become world renowned for designing a wide range of innovative luxury products with immaculate craftsmanship, state of the art technology, and made from the absolute highest quality materials that all adhere to the same clear functionality of form.
Porsche Design is responsible for some of the most iconic sunglasses ever made, seen on a who’s who list from the rich and famous to the infamous during the 1970’s and 80’s.
To pay tribute to the most groundbreaking models in their history Porsche Design Eyewear has released their “Heritage Collection”.
The new collection re-issues the most notable of their sunglasses but revamps them for the 21st century. The same iconic styles that went out of production years ago are back with a serious upgrade in materials such as super light weight and strong, anti-corrosive titanium, as well as light weight shatter proof polycarbonate lenses back coated with a multi-layered premium anti-reflective coating.

Yes. These Porsche aviators have adorned many famous faces over the years.
The 8478 was formerly the Porsche 5621 and 5623 before it went out of production.
The 8480 folding sunglasses were formerly the Porsche 5622.
can you please tell me how much does the 8478 cost in pounds? and are the second pair of lenses included?
If I have 5621 frames, what size lenses do I need to fit them? I see the 8478s are replacements for the 5621s, but the 8478s come in different sizes. Which size matches the 5621?
Hey Dave,
The lenses from the current 8478 style will not fit the vintage model.
It is so awesome that Porsche Design are making the Aviator glasses again. I owned a pair years ago. They were heavy, exclusive and sough-after..especially in Africa where I summered. This classy update is so refreshing – so cool that they are now made of titanium. can’t wait to get my hands on a pair.
