AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

I’m offering at auction an authentic piece of eyewear history: Ray-Ban Wings made by Bausch & Lomb, model 1984, the same pair Michael Jackson wore when he won 8 Grammy Awards in 1984. This model became an icon precisely because of that moment.

AUTHENTICITY AND ORIGINAL MARKS:
- WINGS BAUSCH & LOMB - engraved on the lens
- US PAT DES 273-794 - engraved on the right temple (authentic patent)
- B&L RAYBAN USA - engraved on the internal metal divider

These marks certify authenticity and production origin: pre-Luxottica era, top craftsmanship.

ORIGINAL LENSES IN MINERAL GLASS:
Amber/orange color lenses in authentic mineral glass (not plastic)
Intact, scratch-free, flaw-free
Natural, durable UV protection
Optical clarity superior to most modern models

CONDITION:
Practically brand new – never worn or worn very little
- Perfect lenses
- Frame intact, no corrosion
- Rigid, fully functioning temples

Includes case: Ray-Ban (not original)

TECHNICAL DETAILS:
Brand: Ray-Ban / Bausch & Lomb USA
Model: Wings – Aviator Style
Era: 1984 (Bausch & Lomb pre-Luxottica 1999)
Lens material: Mineral glass
Lens color: Amber orange
Frame: Gold metal
Patent: US PAT DES 273-794

WHY THEY ARE RARE AND VALUABLE:
- Bausch & Lomb (pre-1999) = superior artisanal quality compared to Luxottica
- Glass lenses = increasingly hard to find and prized by collectors
- 1984 model = 80s icon, made famous by world-renowned stars
- Excellent condition = virtually impossible to find in this state
- Patent number = reliable, documentable identification

Perfect for:
- Vintage eyewear collectors
- Retro eyewear enthusiasts
- Quality vintage investors
- Fashion enthusiasts seeking authentic pieces

These glasses represent more than an accessory: they are a testament to Bausch & Lomb’s manufacturing excellence and to an era that defined global style. Rare, authentic, pristine. An investment that will increase in value over time.

Carefully packed shipping with tracking code and use of top-tier couriers (e.g., UPS, FedEx; SDA; Poste Italiane; DPD).
Any potential extra charges, such as costs for failed delivery on the first attempt for the recipient, duties, local taxes, etc., will be borne exclusively by the buyer.
Thank you for your attention and happy bidding to all.
