Description
The Michel Herbelin Citadine 16915/PR59B is a refined expression of understated elegance, crafted for the discerning woman who values timeless sophistication. This 30.5mm Swiss quartz timepiece combines the warmth of rose gold PVD plating with the industrial chic of a stainless steel mesh bracelet, creating a versatile accessory that transitions effortlessly from boardroom to evening engagement. The clean white dial, protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal glass, features slender hour markers and hands that exemplify Michel Herbelin's commitment to minimalist French design.
At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer of Michel Herbelin timepieces, ensuring every watch sold carries the full manufacturer's warranty and provenance documentation. The Citadine collection embodies the brand's philosophy of accessible luxury — Swiss precision engineering presented in wearable, elegant forms. The two-tone aesthetic of this reference 16915/PR59B makes it particularly versatile, complementing both rose gold and silver jewellery with equal grace.
The 316L stainless steel case undergoes a meticulous rose gold PVD coating process, creating a durable finish that resists daily wear whilst maintaining its lustrous appearance. The matching mesh bracelet offers both visual continuity and exceptional comfort, conforming naturally to the wrist with its flexible construction. This is horological craftsmanship designed for real life — dependable, beautiful, and built to last generations.

FAQ
Q: Is this a genuine Michel Herbelin watch with warranty?
A: Yes, this is an authentic Michel Herbelin timepiece purchased directly from authorised distribution channels. It includes a 2-year international Michel Herbelin warranty valid from the date of purchase, covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship when purchased from an authorised retailer like Cassims & Co.
Q: What does the rose gold PVD coating mean for durability?
A: PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) is a molecular bonding process that creates an exceptionally hard, scratch-resistant coating. Unlike traditional plating, PVD rose gold finishes are highly durable and resistant to fading, tarnishing, or wearing through with normal daily use. This ensures the two-tone aesthetic remains pristine for years.
Q: Can the mesh bracelet be resized?
A: Yes, the mesh bracelet can be adjusted for a perfect fit. Our in-house team at Mall of the South provides complimentary sizing with your purchase. The mesh design also naturally conforms to the wrist, offering some inherent flexibility for comfort throughout the day.
Q: How often does the quartz movement require battery replacement?
A: Swiss quartz movements typically require battery replacement every 2-3 years, depending on usage. We offer battery replacement services for all Michel Herbelin watches at our boutique, performed by trained specialists using genuine components.
Q: Is this watch suitable for everyday wear?
A: Absolutely. The 30.5mm case size is ideal for daily wear, offering presence without being cumbersome. The sapphire crystal provides excellent scratch resistance, and the stainless steel construction with PVD coating ensures durability. However, as water resistance specifications are not provided by the manufacturer for this model, we recommend avoiding water exposure.
Q: What makes Michel Herbelin watches distinctive?
A: Founded in 1947, Michel Herbelin represents French watchmaking elegance combined with Swiss movement precision. The brand is known for refined, wearable designs that prioritise timeless aesthetics over trend-driven complications. Each piece undergoes rigorous quality control in their Charquemont atelier.
Q: Do you offer nationwide delivery?
A: Yes, we offer secure nationwide delivery throughout South Africa. All watches are tracked during transit and arrive in their original presentation packaging with all documentation, warranty cards, and authenticity certificates included.
Warranty
- Warranty Period: This Michel Herbelin watch is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase.
- Warranty Coverage: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.

- What Is Covered: Movement malfunctions due to manufacturing defects, case or crystal defects arising from faulty materials or assembly, and bracelet or clasp failures resulting from manufacturing faults.
- What Is Not Covered: Normal wear and tear including scratches to case, crystal, or bracelet; battery replacement or depletion; damage caused by accidents, impacts, or improper use; water damage resulting from misuse or failure to observe water resistance limitations; damage from unauthorised repairs or modifications; damage from exposure to extreme conditions, chemicals, or magnetic fields.

Care guide
- Daily Care: Wipe the case, crystal, and bracelet with a soft, lint-free microfibre cloth after wear to remove perspiration, cosmetics, and environmental residues that can dull the finish over time.
- Bracelet Maintenance: Clean the mesh bracelet periodically using lukewarm water with a small amount of mild soap and a soft brush to remove accumulated dirt between the links. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a soft cloth.
- PVD Coating Care: Avoid contact with harsh chemicals, solvents, perfumes, and cleaning agents that may affect the rose gold PVD finish. Apply cosmetics and fragrances before putting on your watch.
- Water Exposure: As water resistance specifications are not provided by the manufacturer for this model, we recommend avoiding water exposure entirely, including handwashing, rain, and humid environments.
- Storage: When not worn, store your Michel Herbelin watch in its original box or a dedicated watch case away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and magnetic fields generated by electronic devices.
- Sapphire Crystal: While sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant, avoid impacts against hard surfaces such as granite, ceramic, or other sapphire materials which can cause chips or cracks.
- Battery Replacement: Have the battery replaced by an authorised service centre or our in-house team to ensure proper sealing and gasket replacement. Never allow a depleted battery to remain in the watch, as leakage can damage the movement.
- Professional Servicing: We recommend a complete service inspection every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance, including movement cleaning, gasket replacement, and case refinishing if desired.
- Avoid: Extreme temperature fluctuations, magnetic fields from speakers or laptops, impacts or drops, and exposure to chemicals including chlorine, saltwater, and household cleaning products.
