Description

Jean Paul Gaultier 58-0022 Deadstock Oval Sunglasses Made in Japan

An authentic vintage pair of Jean Paul Gaultier 58-0022 sunglasses, preserved in exceptional deadstock condition and retaining its original factory-installed rose day/night lenses.

Produced in Japan during the golden era of JPG eyewear, the 58-0022 embodies the futuristic minimalism that helped define Jean Paul Gaultier’s legendary eyewear collections. Featuring a sleek oval silhouette, featherweight metal construction, engraved JPG bridge, and sculpted wire temples, this model perfectly captures the avant-garde aesthetic that continues to make vintage Gaultier eyewear among the most collectible designer frames on the market today.

Unlike many surviving examples that have been modified, relensed, or heavily worn, this pair remains remarkably original, including its factory lenses, UV Protection markings, and original finish throughout. The model is documented within vintage eyewear archives as a collectible Japanese-made oval sunglass from the late 1990s era.  

A true collector’s piece from one of fashion’s most influential designers.

Design Notes

The 58-0022 showcases many of the elements that made Jean Paul Gaultier eyewear iconic: industrial-inspired construction, minimalist forms, and subtle decorative details that reveal themselves upon closer inspection.

The engraved JPG bridge, ultra-lightweight wire temples, and elongated oval shape create a design that feels simultaneously futuristic and timeless. The soft rose lenses complement the silver metal frame perfectly, producing a look that remains unmistakably Y2K while still feeling modern today.

The craftsmanship throughout reflects the quality associated with Japanese eyewear manufacturing during the 1990s, an era widely regarded as a high point in designer eyewear production.
