More than half a century after they took the music world by storm, The Beatles is still arguably the greatest recording group in history. But not only did they influence the world sonically \u2013 they also shaped fashion in myriad ways.<\/p>\n

Although they started with slick hair and suits, they quickly embraced reinvention and made mop tops, collarless jackets, neon suits, and even facial hair fashionable. Not only did they sell records; they successfully set trends and became a worldwide cultural phenomenon.<\/p>\n

So were they as adventurous when it came to their timepieces? Not quite. The guys were only ever spotted with select timepieces (and George was not even known to wear one), but they were as impressive as you\u2019d expect. Here are The Beatles’ watches:b<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

One of\u00a0John Lennon\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0most popular photos was taken by his wife Yoko Ono on his 40th <\/sup>birthday. In it, he is showing off a\u00a0Patek Philippe reference 2499<\/strong><\/em> while smiling from ear to ear. It\u2019s not confirmed whether he was gifted the watch, but he sure looked proud to be wearing no less than a rare Patek.\u00a0Photos from Christie\u2019s and John Lennon on Instagram<\/em>br<\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
