Description
The Michel Herbelin Fifth Avenue 17137/PR11GO is a study in architectural elegance and feminine sophistication. With its distinctive square-within-a-square case design, this timepiece draws inspiration from the geometric grandeur of Art Deco styling, reimagined for the modern woman who appreciates refined horology. The unique layered case construction—measuring 25.5mm x 29mm in its outer frame and 25.5mm x 19mm at the inner bezel—creates a striking visual depth that sets this watch apart from conventional ladies' dress watches.
Crafted from 316L stainless steel with a lustrous rose gold PVD coating, the case frames a pristine white dial adorned with rose gold Arabic numeral hour markers at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions, complemented by slender baton indices. The crown is elegantly positioned at 12 o'clock, maintaining the symmetry of this architectural design. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial, while the watch is powered by a reliable Swiss-made Ronda 751 quartz movement, ensuring precision timekeeping with minimal maintenance. The timepiece is fitted to a warm tan calf leather strap with contrasting white decorative stitching and secured with a rose gold PVD pin buckle.

FAQ
Q: Is the Michel Herbelin Fifth Avenue 17137/PR11GO suitable for everyday wear?
A: Yes, this timepiece is designed for daily wear. Its quartz movement requires minimal maintenance, the sapphire crystal resists scratches, and the 3 bar water resistance protects against splashes and brief immersion. The versatile rose gold and tan colour palette complements both professional and casual attire.
Q: What is the case size of this watch, and will it suit a smaller wrist?
A: The inner case measures 25.5mm x 19mm, with an outer architectural frame extending to 25.5mm x 29mm. This compact sizing is specifically designed for women's wrists and typically suits wrist circumferences from approximately 140mm to 180mm. The visual presence is enhanced by the layered square design while remaining proportionate and elegant.
Q: How often will I need to replace the battery in this quartz watch?
A: The Ronda 751 quartz movement typically provides 2-4 years of operation on a single battery, depending on usage patterns. When replacement is needed, our authorised service centre can perform this procedure whilst maintaining your warranty validity. We recommend professional battery replacement to ensure water resistance integrity is preserved.
Q: Is the rose gold finish durable, or will it wear off over time?
A: The rose gold finish is applied using PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating, an advanced process that bonds the coating at a molecular level to the stainless steel substrate. This creates exceptional durability and scratch resistance far superior to traditional plating. With proper care, the finish will maintain its lustre for many years of regular wear.
Q: Can I wear this watch while swimming or showering?
A: With 3 bar (30 metres) water resistance, this watch is protected against splashes, rain, and handwashing, but it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or water sports. We recommend removing the watch before prolonged water exposure to preserve the leather strap and maintain the movement's integrity.
Q: Does this watch come with the official Michel Herbelin presentation box and papers?
A: Yes, as an authorised Michel Herbelin retailer, we supply this timepiece in its original branded presentation box with all accompanying documentation, including the international warranty card, instruction manual, and authenticity certification. This ensures both the provenance of your watch and the validity of your 2-year international warranty.
Q: Can the leather strap be replaced if it wears out?
A: Absolutely. The strap features a standard attachment system, and replacement straps are available through our boutique. We can assist with sourcing genuine Michel Herbelin replacement straps or recommend compatible alternatives. Our watchmakers can also fit the new strap professionally to ensure proper installation.
Warranty
- Warranty Period: This Michel Herbelin timepiece is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase.
- Warranty Coverage: The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. This includes manufacturing faults in the movement, case, dial, hands, and crystal.
- Authorised Retailer Requirement: This warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Michel Herbelin retailer, such as Cassims & Co. Proof of purchase from an authorised dealer must be presented for warranty claims.
- Warranty Exclusions: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches to the case, crystal, or strap; leather strap deterioration; battery depletion or replacement; damage caused by accident, misuse, or improper handling; water damage resulting from failure to observe water resistance limitations; unauthorised repairs or modifications; or damage from magnetic fields, extreme temperatures, or chemical exposure.
- Service Procedure: Should your watch require warranty service, please contact Cassims & Co. with your proof of purchase. We will arrange for assessment and, if the issue is covered under warranty, repair or replacement through the official Michel Herbelin service network at no charge to you.
- Battery Replacement: Battery replacement is considered routine maintenance and is not covered under the manufacturer's warranty. However, Cassims & Co. offers competitively priced battery replacement services performed by experienced watchmakers using quality components.
- After-Sales Support: Beyond the manufacturer's warranty, Cassims & Co. provides ongoing support for all watches purchased from us, including strap adjustments, sizing, cleaning, and access to genuine replacement parts and professional servicing.
Care guide
- Daily Care: Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, lint-free microfibre cloth after wearing to remove oils, perspiration, and dust. Avoid contact with perfumes, cosmetics, and chemical cleaning agents which may damage the PVD coating or leather strap.
- Leather Strap Maintenance: Keep the leather strap dry whenever possible. If the strap becomes wet, blot gently with an absorbent cloth and allow to air-dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Avoid prolonged exposure to water, which can stiffen and deteriorate the leather. Consider rotating with another watch during humid conditions or water-related activities.
- Water Resistance: This watch is rated to 3 bar (30 metres) and is splash-resistant only. Do not wear while swimming, bathing, or showering. Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet or submerged. Have the water resistance tested annually if you frequently expose the watch to moisture.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in its original presentation box or a dedicated watch storage case, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and magnetic fields (speakers, mobile phones, magnetic clasps). This preserves the leather strap and protects the case finish.
- Crown Operation: When adjusting the time, pull the crown out gently to the time-setting position. After setting, push the crown fully back in to maintain water resistance. Avoid rough handling of the crown mechanism.
- PVD Coating Care: Although PVD coating is highly durable, avoid impact with hard surfaces and abrasive materials. Remove your watch before engaging in activities that might subject it to knocks or scratches, such as heavy lifting, contact sports, or manual labour.
- Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or the seconds hand begins jumping in irregular intervals, the battery requires replacement. Always have battery replacement performed by an authorised service centre to maintain warranty validity and ensure proper resealing of the case back.
- Servicing Schedule: We recommend a complete service inspection every 3-5 years, even for quartz watches. This includes cleaning, gasket replacement, and water resistance testing to ensure your timepiece continues to perform optimally.
