An icon of 1980s industrial design, the Porsche Design [ 5621 ] remain some of the most technically innovative sunglasses ever produced.

Created under the direction of F. A. Porsche [ designer of the original 911 ] they were manufactured in Austria by Carrera. Featuring the brand's patented interchangeable lens system, a precision-engineered central hinge allows complete lens sets to be swapped in seconds, adapting effortlessly to changing light conditions while giving the frame multiple distinct looks. The 2 original lens sets are included, with the spares safely storing in the built-in sleeves within the case. 

This example is the matte black frame colour, complete with both grey and brown gradient interchangeable lenses.

Cementing its place in design history, the 5621 was famously worn by Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop, helping define one of cinema's most recognisable 1980s looks.

A true benchmark of minimalist engineering, functional innovation and timeless Porsche Design aesthetics.
