The Porsche Design P8801 Readers bring German engineering precision to everyday eyewear. As the first reading glasses model from Porsche Design, the P8801 set the standard for luxury readers when it launched—and it remains a benchmark for design and function today.
The semi-rimless rectangular frame is built from lightweight stainless steel, refined to its essentials for a clean, minimalist look that works anywhere. The contrasting temples are made from high-tech polyamide with a slightly transparent finish, offering both visual appeal and all-day comfort. You'll find the Porsche Design logo discreetly engraved on each temple as a mark of authenticity.
The lenses deliver where it counts: scratch-resistant polycarbonate construction with integrated UV protection and an anti-reflective back surface for clear, distortion-free vision. Available in magnification strengths from +1.00 to +3.00 diopters, the P8801 is ready to fit your prescription needs. Measurements are 48mm lens width, 20mm bridge, and 150mm temple length—a versatile unisex fit.
These frames are prescription-ready, so you can add your custom lenses through our licensed opticians. Made in Italy to exacting standards, the P8801 combines the durability you'd expect from Porsche Design with a half-eye shape that's sophisticated enough for meetings and comfortable enough to forget you're wearing them.
