Dunhill 6142 004 Gold Vintage Sunglasses-New Green Gradient Custom Lenses-Unworn

DUNHILL 6142 004 Gold / Green Custom Sunglasses

Description

• Brand / Model: Alfred Dunhill 6142 (color 004)
• Made in Austria by Optyl during the late-1980s / early-1990s era — the same production group responsible for Dior and Carrera at the time.
• Rectangular full-metal construction with black enamel inlay and Dunhill’s signature diamond-pattern temples, finished in high-polish gold.
• Precision-milled hinges and bridge for enduring alignment and strength.
• Engraving reads “AUSTRIA 6142 41 54□16 135”; the A and left side of the U are faint from light shelf wear — a common factory-aging detail seen on genuine Dunhill NOS.
• Outer temples gleam with original luster — a stunning Deadstock survivor.

• 100% UV protection
• Edge-polished for perfect seating in the Austrian metal rims
