The persol 649S, created in 1957, became instant legend when Marcello Mastroianni wore them in the Pietro Germi film "Divorce Italian style". A favorite of Steve Mcqueen�s both on and off the screen. 1994's French book "qualita: scenes d'objects a l'italienne" declared it one of the objects most representative of the Italian genius of yesterday and today.
This is truly a classic. Retro, timeless styling, distinct from all the �look a like� sunglasses made today, a definite head turner, and a piece that has a place in all sunglass collections.
Looks great on both men and women alike.
Note: 52mm size is recommended. 54 fits most too large.
