About this item

A 1980s Persol Ratti P210 aviator in lightweight Optyl. The translucent brown frame fades to olive-amber at the bottom, with a classic double bridge and a metal P logo plate on the outside of each temple. The inner temples show the Persol script logo with the optyl mark, and "P210". Fitted with pale green-tinted lenses.

Brand heritage

Persol was founded in Turin, Italy, in 1917 by optician Giuseppe Ratti, whose first products were protective glasses for aviators and sportsmen; the name comes from "per il sole" (for the sun). In the late 1930s the company introduced the Meflecto flexible-temple system, with small metal cylinders set into the acetate temple to reduce pressure on the head, and the silver arrow became the brand's signature. Frames made in the Ratti era are sought after by collectors for their Italian acetate work and engineering.
