There's sunglasses, and there's jewelry that happens to shield you from the sun. The Cartier CT0616S-001 clearly belongs to the second category: a gold-tone rimless frame from the maison's Première de Cartier collection, built for the man who understands luxury as precision, not excess.

At Lexor Miami, we're an authorized Cartier dealer, and this particular model sums up why the Parisian house has remained the ultimate reference in jewelry and fine watchmaking since 1847: every element of the design — from the rimless edge to the smallest screw on the temple — exists for a reason, not for decoration.

Design: The Boldness of Going Rimless

Building rimless sunglasses — with no rim surrounding the lens — demands far greater engineering precision than a traditional frame: the lens must be drilled and anchored directly to the bridge and temples with zero margin for error. The result in the CT0616S-001 is a geometric, almost architectural silhouette that lets the gold-tone metal take center stage without overwhelming the face.

On the temples, the "C de Cartier" motifs — the two interlocking Cs that represent the maison's most recognizable monogram — appear in subtle relief, visible only to those who get close enough. It's the same "quiet luxury" principle that governs all of Cartier's jewelry: quality speaks for itself, it doesn't shout.

Lens and Comfort

The model is fitted with a 54mm grey lens, a neutral tone that doesn't alter color perception and offers full UV protection, ideal for everyday wear as well as elevated looks for events. The 18mm bridge and 145mm temple length correspond to a medium-size frame, designed to fit most men's faces without feeling too small or oversized.

Caring for Your Cartier CT0616S-001

Since it's a rimless frame, the gold-tone metal and the lens anchor points deserve extra care: clean only with the included microfiber cloth, avoid harsh chemicals, and always store them in their original case when not in use, to protect both the godron ribbing and the lens edge.

Final Thoughts

The Cartier CT0616S-001 isn't trying to be the flashiest frame on the shelf. It's trying to be the most correct one — the pair a jeweler would have designed if asked for sunglasses instead of a ring. At Lexor Miami, we have it in stock, ready for those who understand that true luxury lives in the details almost no one else notices.
