The overall image of the watch plays on the contrast between the anthracite dial and the rose gold plated hands and baton indices, in particular revealed at 4 o’clock. The four-baton index representing the four Beatles members, with the watch hands centred on the city of Liverpool as a reminder of where this iconic story began.

An alliance of innovation, watchmaking expertise and strong musical commitment, the “Let It Be” Maestro The Beatles model carries a timeless message of optimism and recalls the spirit of an entire era reviving images of an impromptu concert on the rooftop at Apple Studios. This was to be their last ever live performance.

A new addition to the Raymond Weil Music Icons limited edition collection, the “Let It Be” Maestro The Beatles symbolises the timelessness of a band.
