Gucci Rimless Rectangular Sunglasses with Monogram Gold-Tone Hardware - A pair of Gucci rimless rectangular sunglasses, model GG 1798/S NQ6. The design features plum-tinted lenses secured by gold-tone metal hardware, including a central bridge and decorative hinge plates embossed with the signature GG monogram pattern. The temples are asymmetrical, with the left side finished in a marbled grey and tan horn-effect resin and the right side in a solid burgundy plum resin. The interior temples are marked with the brand name, CE Made in Italy, and the model number. Includes the original black Gucci-branded hard-shell case. 61-15-125. Gucci rimless rectangular sunglasses with monogram hardware are a piece from a specific and significant period in the house's eyewear history - the rimless construction with Gucci-engraved nose bridge hardware is a late-1990s to early-2000s aesthetic that defined the house's eyewear during Tom Ford's tenure. Tom Ford-era Gucci eyewear is currently among the most actively collected vintage designer sunglasses, and rimless examples in good condition are harder to find than framed alternatives.
