T HENRI ALTESSE Desert Rose sunglasses embody refined grand touring luxury through an elegant architectural silhouette and exceptional handcrafted detailing. Inspired by the golden age of European coachbuilt automobiles, the frame features softly sculpted bevel transitions, aerodynamic contours, and an elevated browline that creates a poised and confident profile. Crafted from Japanese cellulose block acetate, the design is distinguished by 10mm hand-carved fronts and 7mm laminated, carved temples, complemented by custom titanium décor corewires featuring an Art Deco skyscraper motif. Zeiss CR39 gradient sun lenses with Gold Antireflective coatings provide enhanced visual comfort, while the 7-barrel hinge and octagonal safety rivet system ensure precision and durability. Custom hinge plates, houndstooth no-slip grip laser engraving, and individual serial numbering further highlight its meticulous craftsmanship. Produced in a microproduction of just 199 pieces, the ALTESSE Desert Rose is an exclusive statement of modern nobility, timeless elegance, and sophisticated luxury.
