Dior's 2056 is the most recognizable butterfly shape the house made in this era, identifiable by the gold CD hinge plaques as much as by the silhouette itself. Tortoise acetate and gold hardware do double duty here as structure and as the only real embellishment. The acetate is solid with no cracks, hinges are tight, and only faint discoloration on the nose pads gives away real age; these come frames-only, so any optician can fit prescription or fashion lenses.
