About this item

An original Persol Ratti 6629/60, a large and bold men's frame made in Italy in the Ratti era. The thick black acetate front has a straight flat brow and a keyhole bridge, fitted with green lenses. The wide temples use Persol's Meflecto flexible system with four metal inserts. The inner temples are stamped 6629/60; the Persol and RATTI temple stamps are worn and only partly visible.

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.
