Story & heritage
Persol introduced the 714 in the 1960s as a folding version of the 649, making it the house's first-ever folding glasses model.
The design became a compact symbol of mid-century cool while preserving the pilot shape that made the 649 a classic.
Materials & craft
This model adds a folding mechanism to Persol's Italian acetate construction, which is why it requires extra manufacturing steps.
The frame keeps the familiar keyhole bridge and Meflecto comfort system, with the foldability becoming part of the appeal.
How to choose & style
Choose it when you want the 649 attitude with a more collectible, technical feel.
It suits leather jackets, relaxed tailoring, and travel-ready wardrobes that reward a clever detail.
