BP-O.R BPS 104-E 59

It only takes a quick review of the house’s rich archives to realize that gold has always been important at Balmain, with golden tones and embellishments gracing signature house creations ever since Pierre Balmain’s earliest couture presentations, over 75 years ago. In honor of that singularly brilliant heritage, Olivier Rousteing and the team at Akoni have designed a special, limited-edition, gold-plated version of Balmain Eyewear’s best-selling O.R. frame. Lustrously gleaming, due to the brilliant coating of 5 microns of 18k gold, each of the 300 limited-edition Golden O.R. frames is destined to become a true collector’s piece— as much a precious jewelry piece as a boldly sophisticated sunglass frame. Each authenticated design is engraved with its own distinct number and delivered in special luxury packaging.
