“GUCCI” 2010's Mother of pearl detail metal pilot eyewear

“GUCCI” 2010’s mother-of-pearl detail metal pilot eyewear

Founded in Florence in 1921, GUCCI has continued to renew its values of luxury by grounding itself in traditional craftsmanship and introducing bold interpretations with each era. Today, we present an iconic piece that beautifully blends delicate metalwork with decorative allure.

With a foundation of sharp silver-colored metal frames, this style pairs oversized teardrop-shaped lenses with a double bridge. By layering an ivory-colored piece onto the upper front, it adds a decorative sensibility that feels distinctly GUCCI to the classic pilot design.

What is especially striking is the mother-of-pearl-inspired detail set along the upper bridge. At the center, a discreet GUCCI logo is placed, and the soft white nuance adds to the hard, lustrous shine of the silver—creating a look that is clearly distinct from typical metal frames.

The temples are designed to be slim, yet their surfaces feature finely detailed continuous-pattern engravings. Even from the side profile, the decorative presence remains uninterrupted, and by using an ivory tone on the end tips that echoes the front, the entire design is thoughtfully unified into a single cohesive look.

The lenses have a clear, transparent specification, which helps temper the strong impression typically associated with sunglasses while adding a comfortable sense of presence around the face. With the contrast between the oversized 59 size and the slim frame, it achieves an exquisite balance that feels modern—yet never heavy.

The markings visible on the inside of the temples match those of the same model from around 2019 listed in Kering Eyewear’s materials. Since the specifications align as well—silver frames, transparent lenses, and mother-of-pearl-inspired details—this can be positioned as a piece introduced from around 2019 to 2020, during the Alessandro Michele era.

We especially recommend it for those who would like to incorporate a classic pair of eyewear while adding a touch of decorative, intellectual nuance, or for anyone who wants to refine the impression around the face with an accessory-like sensibility. The way it brings together past motifs characteristic of the Michele-era GUCCI and a contemporary sensibility naturally into everyday life is a major part of its appeal.

For styling, it pairs beautifully with polished pieces such as tailored jackets, long coats, and shirts with a gentle drape. You can also create an elegant, genderless, mode-forward impression by combining it with dresses or wide-leg pants.

We would be delighted if you take this opportunity.
