About this item

An original Persol Ratti 6200 from the classic Ratti period, made in Italy. The bold, thick black acetate front has softly rounded square lenses and lifted outer corners, with the silver Persol arrows on both sides. The wide temples use Persol's Meflecto flexible system. The inner front is stamped with the size 48, and the inner temples carry the oval RATTI mark and a faint Persol script logo. Fitted with light smoke-grey lenses. Comes with a brown leather Persol case.

Brand heritage

Persol was founded in Turin, Italy, in 1917 by optician Giuseppe Ratti; the name comes from "per il sole" (for the sun). The company began with protective goggles for pilots and racing drivers. Its patented Meflecto system, flexible inserts in the temples that let the arms adapt to the head, dates from 1938, and the Supreme silver arrow became the brand's signature. Frames from the pre-Luxottica era (Persol was acquired by Luxottica in 1995) stamped RATTI are especially valued by collectors.
