Porsche Design P’8478 Sunglasses – The Original Interchangeable Aviator
The Porsche Design P’8478 is one of the most influential sunglass designs ever created. First launched in 1978, it introduced the world to the revolutionary quick-change lens system, allowing wearers to swap lenses in seconds to suit any light condition. Today, the P’8478 remains a benchmark of precision engineering, blending bold aviator styling with serious functional performance.
Iconic Teardrop Aviator Shape
The signature teardrop silhouette is unmistakable. Oversized yet refined, it flatters oval, round and square face shapes, making it a versatile choice for both men and women. The clean lines and minimalist bridge give the P’8478 a timeless presence that has stayed in style for over four decades.
Lightweight Titanium Construction
Built from premium titanium, the frame is lightweight, hypoallergenic and exceptionally durable. Spring hinges deliver a comfortable, secure fit, while the polished metalwork showcases the craftsmanship Porsche Design is known for. Whether you’re driving, travelling or out for the day, the P’8478 feels barely there.
Interchangeable UV400 Lenses
Each pair includes an additional set of lenses that lock into the frame with a simple twist. The high-resistance polycarbonate lenses are scratch-resistant and shatterproof, offering full UV400 protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays. Switch between solid, gradient or mirrored options to match your environment and mood.
