The P‘8478 and the P‘8928 – timeless icons with a modern twist

P'8478

In 1978 Professor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche created the design icon P‘8478, which to this day has become a synonym for a high level of style and elegant design combined with sophisticated functionality. As the world's first pair of sunglasses with an innovative interchangeable lens mechanism, the "Exclusive Spectacles", as they are affectionately known, make a distinctive fashion statement.

As a tribute to and in the style of the P‘8478, in 2020 the P‘8928 was created in the Squared Aviator Look, which also has the legendary interchangeable lens mechanism, but has a more edgy and striking design. The design of the characteristic clasp on the nose bridge was adapted to the lens shape of the model and is in line with today's trends.

P'8928

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Porsche Design the two iconic sunglasses from the exclusive lifestyle brand appear in a special edition with a matt black frame, platinum-coloured highlights made of ultralight titanium as well as grey polarisation lenses with olive-coloured interchangeable lenses. The collection is limited to 1972 pieces in each style. For the limited edition the sunglasses are designed for the first time with extremely flat spectacle lenses, which once again highlight the modern oversized look.

For all fans of the brand the two limited frames come in an exclusive box with matching strap and are available now in selected retail outlets as well as online at
