ULTRA-RARE VINTAGE DEADSTOCK / NEW OLD STOCK (NOS) CONDITION

Up for auction or buy-it-now is an absolute holy grail of 1990s archival eyewear: an authentic, unworn pair of Jean Paul Gaultier Model 55-0012 glasses. Masterfully crafted in Japan during Gaultier’s legendary mid-90s design era, this set is in pristine, untouched vintage condition.

What makes this specific piece a true collector's item is that it has never been worn or fitted with prescription lenses—it still features the original clear factory lens branding sticker perfectly intact.

This model features a dual-layer functional design consisting of a high-end matte golden/metallic optical frame base paired with its original, perfectly matching tinted sunglasses clip-on attachment.

Authenticity Details & Inscriptions (As Pictured):

• Factory Clear Sticker: Intact on the lens reading "Jean Paul Gaultier".

• Bridge Arch: Finely debossed with "JEAN PAUL GAULTIER" across the metal top.

• Nose Pads: Original custom hardware featuring the iconic JPG monogram.

• Left Temple Arm: Crisp factory marking "55-0012" next to the stylized eye silhouette logo.

• Right Temple Tip: Stamped with the "Jean Paul Gaultier S" logo, "Frame Made in Japan", and "CE 1".

• Sizing Metrics: Inscribed 46☐19 145 (46mm lens width, 19mm bridge, 145mm temple length).

What You Will Receive:

1. Authentic Jean Paul Gaultier 55-0012 Base Optical Frames (with original clear factory sticker)

2. Original Matching Tinted Clip-On Sunglasses Attachment

3. Original Jean Paul Gaultier Embossed Metal Protective Hard Case

Because most 90s JPG eyewear on the market is heavily used, missing the clip-on, or missing the original case, a pristine deadstock set like this rarely surfaces. Perfect for high-end fashion collectors or museum-grade archival collections.
