Today, Renauld is proud to present The Sixty One (top), a faithful reproduction of the original sunglasses worn by these racing legends.

In 1969, the Renauld Rossano was immortalised in the film The Italian Job.

Today, Renauld has reproduced these iconic sunglasses in 24ct Gold (above), Palladium and Black, with three different choices of coloured lenses.

Every pair of Renauld sunglasses is a handmade work of art, immaculately recreated in superior materials and produced in extremely limited quantities.

Available at selected luxury boutiques and via renauld.co.uk
