Persol celebrates 100 years with a solid gold limited edition

There are very few eyewear companies that have the extensive history that Persol has. The Italian company began its story in 1917 in Turin, Italy, where optical entrepreneur Giussepe Ratti crafted performance eyewear for aviators and later evolved into a leading eyewear label creating fashion essentials for some of the most famous faces in the world. For their 100th Anniversary, Persol has created a Solid Gold Limited Edition that takes a classic Persol silhouette and finishes it with 18k yellow gold arrows and meflecto cylinders.
