Description from the seller
Vintage Porsche Design by Carrera sunglasses - Model 5638 - Tortoise and Gold - Made in Austria
Description:
Up for auction is 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, 5638, stands out for its elegant mixed frame that combines the classic tortoiseshell acetate (with warm shades 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.
Technical Details and Markings (as shown in the photo):

Lenses: The original shaded lenses are in excellent condition. They may show micro-scratches imperceptible due to age and storage, which do not affect vision. The logo on the lens is perfectly sharp.
Note: The original case is not included; the sunglasses will be shipped with a generic case to ensure protection during transport.
An unmissable opportunity for vintage collectors and Porsche design lovers.
