Description
The Michel Herbelin Perle 16873/44XB59 is a study in refined elegance, where French horological tradition meets contemporary jewellery design. This exquisite ladies' timepiece features a compact 24mm round stainless steel case, designed to sit gracefully on the wrist without sacrificing legibility or presence. The dial showcases a deep black lacquered finish, punctuated by carefully applied diamond hour markers that catch and refract light with every movement. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to present this remarkable example of Michel Herbelin's commitment to accessible luxury and enduring craftsmanship.
What truly distinguishes this Perle model is its integrated bezel-and-bracelet design, where the case flows seamlessly into a multi-row stainless steel bracelet adorned with sparkling stones. The bezel itself is set with brilliant-cut diamonds, creating a halo effect that enhances the dial's presence and adds a touch of haute joaillerie to this everyday timepiece. Powered by a reliable Swiss-made quartz movement, this watch delivers precision timekeeping without the need for daily winding, making it the perfect companion for the modern woman who values both style and practicality.
The Perle collection represents Michel Herbelin's vision of contemporary femininity—understated yet unmistakably luxurious. With 30 metres of water resistance and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protecting the dial, this watch is built for daily wear, whether you're navigating the boardroom or enjoying a weekend at the coast. Those seeking to explore more from this distinguished French manufacture can browse our full range of MICHEL HERBELIN watches, each embodying the same dedication to quality and design excellence.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for daily wear?
A: Absolutely. The Michel Herbelin Perle 16873/44XB59 is designed for everyday elegance. With its quartz movement requiring minimal maintenance, sapphire crystal offering superior scratch resistance, and 30-metre water resistance protecting against splashes and brief immersion, this watch is built to accompany you through your daily routine while maintaining its refined appearance.
Q: Are the stones on the bezel and bracelet genuine diamonds?
A: Yes, the bezel is set with genuine brilliant-cut diamonds, as confirmed in the official Michel Herbelin specifications. The hour markers on the dial also feature genuine diamonds. The bracelet embellishments add decorative sparkle to complement the overall design aesthetic.
Q: What type of movement powers this watch?
A: This Perle model is powered by a Swiss-made quartz movement, renowned for exceptional accuracy and reliability. Quartz movements require a battery change approximately every 2-3 years and offer superior precision compared to mechanical alternatives, making this an ideal choice for those who value convenience alongside luxury.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, our experienced team at Cassims & Co. can professionally resize the bracelet to ensure a perfect fit on your wrist. This service is complimentary with your purchase and can be completed while you wait at our Johannesburg showrooms, or arranged as part of your delivery service.
Q: Is this watch water-resistant enough for swimming?
A: With 30 metres of water resistance, this watch is splash-proof and can withstand handwashing, light rain, and brief accidental submersion. However, we do not recommend swimming, showering, or any prolonged water contact, as this exceeds the intended use parameters and could compromise the movement and seals.
Q: How often does the battery need replacing?
A: Quartz watch batteries typically last between 2 to 3 years, depending on usage patterns. When your Michel Herbelin requires a battery replacement, our watch servicing team uses only approved cells and conducts a full pressure test to ensure water resistance integrity is maintained throughout the watch's lifetime.
Q: Does this watch come with an international warranty?
A: Yes, as an authorised Michel Herbelin retailer, Cassims & Co. provides a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty with every Perle watch. This warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, and is honoured by authorised Michel Herbelin service centres worldwide, giving you complete peace of mind.
Warranty
- This Michel Herbelin Perle watch is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase.
- The warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Michel Herbelin retailer, such as Cassims & Co.
- Coverage includes manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship affecting the movement, case, crystal, and bracelet.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, scratches, aesthetic deterioration, or damage to the case, crystal, or bracelet finish.
- Battery replacement, regular maintenance, and servicing are excluded from warranty coverage.
- Water damage resulting from misuse, improper handling, or exceeding the stated water resistance rating is not covered.
- Accidental damage, impacts, unauthorized modifications, or repairs conducted by non-authorized service centres void the warranty entirely.
- To claim warranty service, present your original purchase receipt and warranty card at any authorised Michel Herbelin service centre or return the watch to Cassims & Co.
- Cassims & Co. provides complimentary after-sales support including bracelet sizing adjustments, strap changes, and professional guidance throughout your ownership experience.
Care guide
- Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, and magnetic fields which may affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water with mild soap and a soft brush, ensuring you dry thoroughly afterwards.
- Do not expose the watch to water during showering, swimming, or water sports. The 30-metre water resistance rating is designed for splash resistance only, not submersion.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker when the watch stops or displays irregular timekeeping. Never allow a depleted battery to remain in the watch, as leakage can damage the movement.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from humidity when not wearing it. The original presentation box provides ideal protection.
- Avoid contact with chemicals, perfumes, cosmetics, and cleaning products, as these can damage the case finish, bracelet, and diamond settings over time.
- Have your watch inspected every 2-3 years by an authorised service centre to ensure water resistance seals remain intact and the movement functions optimally.
- Handle the diamond-set bezel and bracelet with care to prevent loosening of stone settings. If you notice any movement or missing stones, discontinue wear and bring the watch to our service team immediately.
