Persol 649 5A Sunglasses
1 Vintage Persol 649 5A sunglasses are the largest version of iconic Persol Ratti 649 sunglasses, a model that was made in only very small numbers and today is highly sought after by both men and women who like the oversized sunglasses look. Note the translucence and quality of the tortoise shell frame with some great highlights of black, yellow, and orange. These Persol Ratti 649 sunglasses were produced in Persol's Ratti manufactury reserved for their highest quality production and feature the Meflecto system unique to vintage Persol sunglasses. The Persol Meflecto system system consists of tiny cylinders inserted by a craftsman process into the ear stems to render them flexible, thereby assuring maximum comfort and snugness of fit. Persol marketing literature from the period notes that the Meflecto system offers "excellent functionality and perfect fitting to the wearer's face" along with a "smart design and exceptional solidity of construction". The unisex Persol 649 5A frame measures approximately 5.875" temple to temple, and the lenses measure approximately 2.25" x 1.875" at the widest points with both lenses laser etched with the round Persol trademark. You'll find the distinctive Persol silver arrow point hinges on the exterior of both ear stems, and the inside of one stem is marked 142 96 Ratti Made in Italy while the inside of the other stem is marked Persol 649/5A Patent.
