A true icon of both cinema and eyewear design, the Persol 714SM Steve McQueen sunglasses in Terra Di Siena embody a legacy of innovation, craftsmanship, and unmistakable style.
Originally introduced in the 1960s as the world’s first folding sunglasses, the 714 reimagined Persol’s celebrated 649 silhouette with a pioneering collapsible mechanism—requiring over ten additional handcrafted steps to achieve its seamless functionality. This special edition pays tribute to Steve McQueen, who famously wore the model in The Thomas Crown Affair, cementing its status as a symbol of effortless cool.
Rendered in rich Terra Di Siena acetate, this edition offers a warm, sophisticated interpretation of the classic pilot shape, complemented by striking violet lenses that deliver both visual comfort and distinctive character. Signature Persol elements, including the Supreme Arrow and Meflecto flexible stem system, ensure a refined fit and enduring comfort.
Finished with exclusive Steve McQueen detailing and presented in a dedicated collector’s packaging, the 714SM is not simply eyewear, but a piece of design history—engineered for those who appreciate technical mastery and timeless cultural influence.
