ONCE AGAIN, THESE MEASURE ABOUT 5 3/8 INCHES (13.5CM) ACROSS FROM TEMPLE HINGE TO TEMPLE HINGE WHICH FALL BETWEEN THERE "SMALL" SIZED AND "LARGE" SIZED FRAMES. THE TOP TO BOTTOM MEASUREMENT IS 1 11/16'S OF AN INCH (4.4CM). PLEASE REFER TO MY LAST PICTURE TO SEE THE TEMPLATE FOR THE MEASUREMENTS. 

THIS STYLE OF THESE FRAMES ARE MY FRAMES OF CHOICE FROM "PORSCHE DESIGN"/CARRERA.

ALLOW ME TO EXPLAIN ... BACK IN 1976, I WAS INVOLVED IN A TERRIBLE AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT. I WAS THE PASSENGER AND I SUSTAINED MULTIPLE PERMANENT INJURIES. ONE OF THESE WAS MY NOSE! AFTER HAVING 5 NOSE SURGERIES OVER THE YEARS AND HAVING ALL OF MY CARTILAGE REMOVED FROM MY NOSE, THIS STYLE OF NOSE BRIDGE WAS/IS A GOD-SEND!! THE BRIDGE (EITHER THE LEATHER OR SILICONE) GRIPS REALLY WELL, WHICH PREVENTS THESE FROM SLIDING DOWN MY NOSE. BUT, THE KEY HERE IS THAT THESE ARE ALMOST WEIGHTLESS AS THE PRESSURE FROM THESE FRAMES IS DISTRIBUTED EQUALLY THROUGHOUT THIS UNIQUE NOSE BRIDGE. YOU MIGHT NOT APPRECIATE THIS DESIGN AND THINK THAT SOMETHING AS LIGHT AS A PAIR OF SUNGLASSES COULD CAUSE ALL SORTS OF PROBLEMS, BUT BELIEVE ME.... IT DOES! THESE REALLY DO THE TRICK AND I AM SHOCKED THAT OTHER MAKERS OF FRAMES DID NOT CAPITALIZE ON THIS CLEVER AND FUNCTIONAL DESIGN!! I PERSONALLY HAVE OVER 12 DIFFERENT STYLE OF "PORSCHE DESIGN" FRAMES THAT I ROTATE ... ALL OF WHICH HAVE THIS FLOATING NOSE BRIDGE. ENOUGH ABOUT ME.....

THESE STUDIO FRAMES HAVE NOT SEEN THE LIGHT IN OVER 35 YEARS! THESE ARE IN SHOWCASE CONDITION AND ARE BEING OFFERED AS SUCH. THE LENSES, ALTHOUGH CLEAR, ARE ORIGINAL AND ARE IN EXCELLENT SHOWCASE SHAPE/CONDITION. THE CLEAR SILICONE NOSE BRIDGE IS IN PERFECT SHAPE/CONDITION! AS ARE THE PLASTIC DARK BROWN TEMPLE FEET.

THE FRAMES ARE A POLISHED POLISHED GOLD BASE & TRIM WITH HIGHLIGHTS OF COPPER THROUGHOUT. THIS DESIGN IS MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS "TORTOISE SHELL".  THE CLEAR FLOATING NOSE BRIDGE HAS A HIGH POLISHED GOLD CENTER TO NICELY PAIR UP WITH THE POLISHED GOLD TEMPLE HINGES AND NOSE BRIDGE MOUNTS.

PLEASE REFER TO MY PICTURES FOR A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THIS FEATURE. RECENTLY HAVING JUST MOVED, I CAME ACROSS A FULL BOX OF VARIOUS VINTAGE "PORSCHE DESIGN" SUNGLASSES ALL OF WHICH WERE SENT TO ME BY A FRIEND OF MINE WHO ONCE OWNED A NICE BOUTIQUE IN SOUTHAMPTON, UNITED KINGDOM.

THIS IS HOW I RECEIVED THESE FRAMES. THIS PARTICULAR PAIR OF SUNGLASSES CAME TO ME WITH ALL THAT YOU SEE HERE. THE FRAMES, THE RETAIL BOX, HARD STORAGE SHELL (SMALL VERSION), CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN AND PORSCHE DESIGN INFO BOOKLET. I HAVE TOSSED A NEW "PORSCHE DESIGN" MICROFIBER CLEANING CLOTH WHICH ARE PERFECT FOR YOUR LENSES.

THE ORIGINAL "PORSCHE DESIGN"/CARRERA LENSES ARE ALSO NOS (IMAGINE THAT ..LOL) THESE ARE ONCE AGAIN, CLEAR. THESE ARE IN SHOWCASE CONDITION AND I WOULD RATE THESE A 98 OUT OF 100 (USING AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION HERE)! 

THESE COME IN THEIR ORIGINAL HARD "PORSCHE DESIGN"/CARRERA CASE WHICH IS A REDUCED SIZE CASE AS FOUND WITH THE 5621 AND 5623 FRAMES (INTERCHANGEABLE LENSES). THESE FRAMES FIT PERFECTLY INTO THIS CASE (AS PICTURED).

ONCE AGAIN, THESE CAME FROM A FRIEND OF MINE WHO OWNED/CLOSED A SMALL BOUTIQUE IN SOUTHAMPTON, ENGLAND......MANY YEARS AGO. BACK THEN, HE SENT ME A CARE PACKAGE FULL OF A LOT OF "PORSCHE DESIGN" SUNGLASSES AND A FEW STUDIO FRAMES, SOME NEW, SOME USED, SOME WITH MATCHING CARD, SOME WITHOUT, SOME SUNGLASSES AND SOME NOT! MOST ARE IN OUTSTANDING SHAPE/CONDITION AS THESE ARE. HE ATTACHED A NOTE TO EACH AND EVERY PAIR OF SUNGLASSES WITH A NOTE OF IT'S HISTORY. 

SOME OF THESE FRAMES AND SUNGLASSES I ENDED UP WITH AND IN FACT, SOME ARE CURRENTLY LISTED HERE ON EBAY. HIS NOTES HELPED EXPLAIN THE ISSUES WHICH LIES WITH EACH PAIR OF SUNGLASSES (IF ANY). HE NEVER SOLD THESE STUDIO FRAMES TO HIS CUSTOMERS, HE SIMPLY PLACED THEM IN HIS SAFE IN HIS OFFICE AND WHEN IT GOT FULL, HE TOOK THE INVENTORY HOME. WELL AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, AFTER A DECADE OF HAVING THIS SYSTEM IMPLEMENTED, HE BUILT UP A NICE HOME INVENTORY OF SUNGLASSES! WHICH ULTIMATELY ENDED UP WITH ME!!

HIS NOTE STATES THAT THESE 5667 SUNGLASSES, WERE LEFT OVER INVENTORY AND WERE NEVER PUT ON DISPLAY. HERE YOU HAVE WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE WITH ANY VINTAGE PAIR OF "PORSCHE DESIGN" SUNGLASSES AND THAT IS THAT ALL THREE (3) OF THE KEY ITEMS WHICH HAVE BEEN NUMBERED BY CARRERA ARE HERE AND MATCHING! AS PICTURED, YOU HAVE A SERIES OF LETTERS AND NUMBERS ...8 IN TOTAL AND THESE IDENTIFY THESE FRAMES AS ORIGINAL AND NOT BOOTLEG! 

AS YOU CAN SEE IN MY PICTURES THE PLASTIC CREDIT CARD SIZE CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN NUMBERS MATCH THE SEQUENCE OF NUMBERS STAMPED INTO THE FRAMES LEFT TEMPLE ARM, WHICH MATCH THE SAME SEQUENCE OF NUMBERS LOCATED ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE ORIGINAL RETAIL BOX.  THESE NUMBERS ARE UNIQUE TO THIS PAIR OF SUNGLASSES AND THESE ARE: "DF  ID  5838". THIS WILL PUT A SMILE ON ANY PORSCHE PURIST'S FACE! 

IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT ABOUT WHAT I SAY AND HOW I CONDUCT MY BUSINESS HERE ON EBAY..PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT MY FEEDBACK... I AM A PERFECT 5.0'S ACROSS THE BOARD ..... NOT TOO SHABBY FOR A GUY WHO 1 OUT OF 8 SALES GOES OVERSEAS! AND AS OF LATELY I HAVE BEEN SELLING A LOT OF THESE SUNGLASSES AND HERE, FEEDBACK IS THE KEY!!! WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU MIS~REPRESENT THESE LENSES...OUCH!!!! I FOR ONE .... DO NOT WANT TO GO THERE ... I WORKED WAY TOO HARD TO LET SOMETHING AS OBVIOUS AS A SCRATCH MESS ME UP!

ALRIGHT ... ENOUGH ABOUT ME.....
