It's not exact, but colorwise it's about as close as I've found in one step. Here's my 719's to compare:
The specular highlights have a copper, almost pinkish tinge...
I wonder what would happen if we tried two stages? Like a dark gloss color first (maybe even black?), followed by a translucent color (like Krylon Sea Glass 'Amber', 'Tangerine', or even 'Rose')...

Anyone out there looking for a pair of Dior Blacktie 137 with movie lenses, there's a pair on eBay for a reasonable 1700 USD. That "reasonable" sarcasm of course.

Man, if only I hadn’t just purchased that ocean front property in Arizona from PT Barnum!

Pretty sure nobody is going to buy the Dior’s anywhere near that number, so that shouldn’t be an issue.

I'm sure the seller will say "supply and demand"

True... but they’ll be zero demand at that price imo. So...supply anyway.

Gio,
I think (only think!), I may have solved these...
...I think they might be Oliver Peoples Basel OV5178-S.
Shown here in black 1005/N5
There's not a great deal of images out there for reference, but the "bump" on the nose bridge and that metal temple detail does seem to match up...
In one of the RDJ images, you can just make out the "groove" detail in the metal.
It's fairly well known that he has worn them before here...
But I think these were color MMLT or 1050/31 Matt black to military green fade...
With the color up a bit...
...they seem to look dark brown havana of some sort, with the nearest I can find here...
There is also a "brown stripe" version, color 1001/33...
The 1001/33 seems to have 3 lines of gold in the metal temple detail though.
At a guess, with the limited quality images, I'd say then, they could be Basel OV5178-S 57□17 140 in Cocobolo 1003/N9 with what look like mild "prescription" clear lenses. The color of the metal temple detail seems to match up to the 1003/N9 color the most.
If the images were just a bit clearer, I would be a bit more certain! But they do look dark brown - maybe it's a discontinued dark havana colorway.
Perhaps there is another OP model really similar (kinda like how the Daddy B's are to the Dbs), but I can't find any.
I think I've spent enough of my Sunday on these!! Lol
