Description
The Michel Herbelin City 16915/PR59B is a masterclass in refined French watchmaking, blending Swiss precision with elegant design codes that speak to the modern woman who values understated luxury. This timepiece features a luminous mother-of-pearl dial adorned with rose gold spinel indices, creating a captivating interplay of light and texture that shifts beautifully with every movement of the wrist. The 30.5mm 316L stainless steel case is finished with rose gold PVD, striking the perfect balance between contemporary styling and timeless femininity.

FAQ
Is the Michel Herbelin City 16915/PR59B suitable for daily wear?
Absolutely. This watch is designed for everyday elegance with its Swiss quartz movement requiring minimal maintenance, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and durable stainless steel construction. The 30.5mm case size is perfectly proportioned for comfortable all-day wear, whilst the mother-of-pearl dial adds a touch of refinement to any outfit.
Can I swim or shower with this watch?
The 16915/PR59B has 3 ATM (30 metres) water resistance, which protects against splashes and rain but is not suitable for swimming, showering, or water sports. We recommend removing the watch before contact with water to preserve the integrity of the case seals and movement.
How often does the battery need replacing?
Swiss quartz movements typically provide 2-3 years of battery life depending on usage. When replacement is needed, visit Cassims & Co. and our watchmakers will fit a genuine battery and pressure-test the case seals to maintain water resistance.
Is the rose gold finish durable?
Yes. The rose gold finish is applied using PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) technology, which creates a molecular bond with the stainless steel base. This method produces a finish significantly more durable and fade-resistant than traditional plating, maintaining its lustre through years of wear.
Can the mesh bracelet be adjusted?
Yes, the Milanese mesh bracelet can be sized to fit your wrist perfectly. The folding clasp features a sliding adjustment mechanism. Our team at Mall of the South can adjust the bracelet for you at the time of purchase or anytime thereafter.
What is included with the watch purchase?
Your Michel Herbelin City arrives in the official brand presentation box with warranty documentation, instruction manual, and full authentication from Cassims & Co. as an authorised retailer. You'll receive a 2-year international manufacturer warranty valid from your purchase date.
Why is the mother-of-pearl dial special?
Mother-of-pearl is a natural material harvested from oyster shells, prized in haute horlogerie for its unique iridescence. No two mother-of-pearl dials are identical—each has its own subtle pattern of light refraction, making your watch genuinely one-of-a-kind. The material also resists fading and maintains its luminous quality indefinitely.
Warranty
- Manufacturer Warranty: This Michel Herbelin watch is covered by a 2-year international warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- What Is Covered: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, including movement malfunctions and case/bracelet defects that arise from normal use under proper conditions.
- What Is Not Covered: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement, damage to the crystal or case from impact or accident, water damage resulting from improper use or failure to observe water resistance limits, damage from unauthorised repairs or modifications, or loss/theft of the watch.
- Warranty Validation: Your warranty is valid only when purchased from an authorised Michel Herbelin retailer. Retain your original purchase receipt as proof of purchase date and authorised retailer status.
- Service Requirements: Any warranty service must be performed by an authorised Michel Herbelin service centre. Cassims & Co. will facilitate all warranty claims and coordinate directly with Michel Herbelin on your behalf.
- After Warranty Period: Following the 2-year warranty period, Cassims & Co. continues to provide full servicing, battery replacement, and repair services for your Michel Herbelin timepiece at competitive rates.
Care guide
- Daily Care: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing to remove perspiration, cosmetics, and environmental residue that can dull the finish over time.
- Bracelet Maintenance: The Milanese mesh bracelet should be cleaned periodically with lukewarm water and mild soap using a soft brush, then dried thoroughly with a cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Water Exposure: With 3 ATM resistance, avoid submersion, swimming, or showering. Remove the watch before contact with water beyond handwashing. Always ensure the crown is pushed fully in against the case.
- Storage: When not wearing your Michel Herbelin, store it in the original box or a watch case away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and magnetic fields (speakers, mobile phones, magnetic clasps).
- Sapphire Crystal: Whilst sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant, it can be damaged by extreme impact against hard surfaces like concrete or ceramic. Handle with care during physical activities.
- Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or the seconds hand begins jumping in intervals, the battery requires replacement. Visit Cassims & Co. for professional battery service—never attempt to open the case yourself as this voids the warranty and compromises water resistance.
- PVD Finish Care: The rose gold PVD coating is durable but can be scratched by harder materials. Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces and remove the watch during activities involving tools or rough materials.
- Regular Servicing: We recommend a professional inspection every 3-4 years to check seals, movement health, and overall condition. Our watchmakers at Mall of the South provide comprehensive servicing for all Michel Herbelin timepieces.
