Vintage Porsche Design by Carrera Sunglasses - Model 5638 - Tortoishell and Gold - Made in Austria
Description:
In this auction, an iconic piece in the history of eyewear: a pair of vintage Porsche Design by Carrera sunglasses, probably from the 1980s or early 1990s.
This model, the 5638, stands out for its elegant two-tone frame that combines classic tortoiseshell acetate (with warm tones of brown, amber, and hints of dark green/blue) with refined gold-plated metal details, such as the bridge and hinges. The lens shape is a sophisticated reinterpretation of the panto style, slightly squared but with rounded corners, suitable for both men and women.
