Vintage Carrera Porsche Design 5652 70 Round Sunglasses Silver 56-16 Box & Card

About this item

A vintage pair of Carrera Porsche Design 5652 sunglasses in colour 70, a cast polished silver-tone metal frame (the box is marked "Gussbrille / Cast Frame"). The softly rounded panto-shaped rims are joined by a sculpted arched bridge with integrated black nose pads moulded into the frame, a signature Porsche Design detail. Thin straight silver temples end in matte black temple tips. The outer temple is printed "CARRERA PORSCHE DESIGN" with the Carrera logo, and the inner temple is stamped "FRAME GERMANY 5652 70 56□16 125" with a serial number. The lenses are a grey-green gradient, darker at the top and fading lighter toward the bottom.

The glasses come with their original grey Carrera Porsche Design box, marked "Gussbrille / Cast Frame / Lunettes Moulées" (printed "Carrera International Austria") and the Carrera Porsche Design authenticity card (copyright 1983, Carrera International, Austria).

Brand heritage

Porsche Design was founded in 1972 by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, designer of the original Porsche 911. From 1978 Porsche Design eyewear was produced under licence by Carrera, and the Carrera Porsche Design frames of the late 1970s and 1980s, with their technical, minimalist engineering, became design classics that are widely collected today.
