Description
The Hilton Exclusive Eyeglasses 14-2 56/16 20KT GP are a vintage Italian luxury optical frame from the Hilton Exclusive collection, known for its 1980s-inspired design, gold-plated metal craftsmanship, and bold aviator-to-rectangular hybrid styling. This model is part of Hilton’s high-end “Exclusive” archive series, which is highly valued among vintage eyewear collectors for its premium materials and distinctive retro aesthetics.
The 14-2 (14 II) 20KT GP features a full-rim aviator-style frame with slightly squared lenses, blending classic pilot eyewear proportions with a more structured, refined optical shape. This gives it a strong vintage luxury identity while still maintaining everyday prescription usability.
The sizing 56/16 refers to:
56 mm lens width (medium-to-large fit)
16 mm bridge width (balanced, comfortable fit)
This is typically paired with around 140–145 mm temples, giving a stable and proportioned fit suitable for most adult face shapes.
Build & Materials
The frame is crafted from a lightweight metal alloy base with premium 20KT gold plating (GP), giving it a rich, warm metallic finish associated with luxury vintage eyewear. This gold plating is one of the defining characteristics of Hilton Exclusive frames, making them visually distinctive and collectible.
Common construction features include:
Full metal frame with 20KT gold-plated finish
Adjustable nose pads for personalized comfort
Slim metal temples with retro detailing
Lightweight yet durable structure for daily wear
