Vintage Playboy 4506 – Amber Optyl Oversized Sunglasses – Custom Gradient Lenses – Made in Austria

Description:

Striking and rare, these vintage Playboy 4506 sunglasses were crafted in Austria and made from Optyl — a high-tech, ultra-lightweight material developed in the 1960s and favored by premium European designers for its memory shape and hypoallergenic qualities. The frame features an oversized square silhouette with a sculpted amber and tortoise-toned body, balanced with curved temples and the classic Playboy logo inset on both sides. 

Professionally restored and updated with brand new custom lenses, these are the perfect blend of vintage cool and modern wearability.
