Persol 649 Sunglasses — Havana, Hand Made in Italy, 54mm
The Persol 649, the frame the house has made since 1957 and the one most people picture when they picture a Persol. Havana acetate, teardrop lenses, the silver Supreme Arrow set into each temple and the segmented Meflecto joint behind it that lets the arms flex rather than splay.

A note on the model number, since the two are often confused: this is the 649, which has a solid keyhole bridge. The 714 is the folding version. The temple marking and the photographs both show a fixed bridge.
