Persol Steve McQueen PO714 Limited Edition Sunglasses

These limited edition Persol Steve McQueen sunglasses are stunning. These sunglasses were designed to pay homage to Steve McQueen and his love for the brand’s eyewear. Like the PO 714SM, McQueen had a sense of style that was fashion-forward and unique. It’s no wonder then that these sunglasses were elevated to legendary status after the late actor wore them in his 1968 film, ‘The Thomas Crown Affair’.

The iconic Persol Steve McQueen PO714SM is an exclusive model only the most prestigious eyewear stores will be able to get their hands on this model. You might be wondering why these sunglasses are so exclusive. Well, apart from the model being McQueen’s favourite pair from Persol, there are 4 unique characters this model possesses that other sunglasses in the collection do not.

Original Blue Lenses

The classic and iconic blue lens was a favourite of the late actor, Steve McQueen. These lenses are made from the highest quality crystal produced by the brand for the optimal clarity and visual acuity. The lenses are also extremely lightweight and thin making the eyewear very comfortable to wear. The blue tinted lenses have an anti-reflective layer that helps to reduce glare.

Unique Folding System

The PO 714 SM is unlike the other sunglasses in the collection. Persol eyewear has a special technology called ‘Meflecto’ which allows the eyewear to flex without breaking however this model is foldable. The clever folding system allows you to store your beloved eyewear in even the most compact spaces. With this model, you’d only need to fold the eyewear from outside to inside, then in half to get the frames to the size of one lens.

Distinctive Signature Details

All Persol eyewear carries this arrow design. With standard designs, you would only see the ‘Supreme Arrow’ at the front of the frames. The ‘Supreme Arrow’ design can be seen at the front edges of the frames as well as in the middle of the temple stems. The distinctive arrow design on the eyewear reinforces the brand’s unique identity.

Steve McQueen Signature

Look on the inside of the frame arm and there you will see the actor’s signature adorned onto the eyewear. The beautiful presentation case for the eyewear also has the signature adorned across the top of the case. Remember the PO714SM is limited so once it’s gone, it’s gone!
