Stuttgart, 1972.
F. A. Porsche, the designer of the original Porsche 911, founded Porsche Design in Stuttgart in 1972. Its first product, the Chronograph I, was the world’s first all-black chronograph watch.
In 1978 he designed the P’8478 sunglasses, the first Porsche Design model with interchangeable lenses that can be swapped quickly for different light. The eyewear was made by Rodenstock for many years; De Rigo took over the licence when it bought Rodenstock’s eyewear business in 2023.
“Not follow trends, but create them.”Prof. Ferdinand Alexander Porsche (design philosophy, as quoted by Porsche Design)

Do you sell Porsche Design sunglasses?

What if Porsche Design does not suit my face?
Then we will say so, kindly, and show you what does. A name on the frame does not mean it will suit you; that is the first thing we say about every brand. And if you buy and change your mind within sixty days, we change the frame or the lenses at no charge.
How much do Porsche Design glasses cost?
Frames across our ranges run from £70 to £850; Porsche Design sits towards the upper part of that. Lenses are priced separately and shown before you decide. Pay half today and spread the rest over 4, 6, 8 or 10 months, interest free, with nothing added.
