Persol 714: Steve McQueen’s Iconic Frame

The Persol 714 is a piece of cultural history. First introduced as the world’s first foldable sunglasses and based on the original 649 model, the 714 gained legendary status when Steve McQueen wore them in The Thomas Crown Affair (1968). 

Favored by cinema greats like Marcello Mastroianni, Greta Garbo, and Jack Nicholson, the 714 remains a timeless symbol of style and innovation. Whether in its original form or as the exclusive 714 Steve McQueen™ edition, this frame continues to shape the look of icons — past, present, and future.
