Steve McQueen™
SPECIAL EDITION
Steve McQueen™ : A Style Icon
His personality, the rebellious spirit, the inborn charisma, his living life to the
limit, his passion for speed are all aspects that have made Steve
McQueen™ a legend. It was 1968 when his non-conventional, casual
and elegant character arrived on set of the film The Thomas Crown Affair.
And he was wearing a pair of Persol 714 sunglasses.
This is where history and legend intertwine.
The American actor had been a Persol fan for some time, and had a vast personal collection. In 2006, a pair from his collection was sold at an auction for about USD 70,000.

This folding 714 model, and in particular the version with the light havana frame
and crystal blue lenses, Steve McQueen™ discovered an accessory that
went on to accompany him on set but also in his private life, renowned
for his love for bikes and racing cars.
Confident and refined, the model reflects the rebellious character of the actor, someone who loved to take risks and boasted an inimitable style. Persol celebrates this elective affinity with a Special Edition: the Persol 714 SM pays tribute to the timeless hero, Steve McQueen™.

The blue lenses, a favourite of Steve McQueen™ , are made of top

guaranteeing crystal-clear vision in all light conditions.

The folding closure system on the end of the stem moves from the outside towards
the inside, so no longer from the top downwards as before. It
takes just a couple of second to fold the sunglasses and pop
them in a jacket pocket.

The Supreme Arrow, Persol's distinctive symbol and functional element that embraces
the hinges. In this case it is positioned on the stem and front,
like the classic model, and also on the folding hinge and half-way
along the stem, for a total of four arrows. This choice highlights
the brand identity of a model that is already an icon.
