Michael Kors Lexington 19mm Ladies Watch Gold
Ref. MK4980
Sits in Michael Kors’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Michael Kors watches we list, which start at £109.
Price range £109 to £299 across 138 Michael Kors watches in stock.At 19mm, this sits closer to a bracelet charm than a conventional watch face — which is precisely how it is meant to read. The pavé zircon set into both the bezel and along the bracelet links carries the dial outward so the whole piece reads as a single run of light rather than a watch with a strap attached. On the wrist it will suit those who already wear stacking bracelets and want a timepiece that participates in that logic, disappearing into the arrangement rather than anchoring it.

Learn more about Michael Kors
Michael Kors founded his label in New York in 1981 and built it on accessible American luxury. The watches are produced under licence by Fossil Group and have been among the highest-volume fashion watches sold worldwide.
The design leans decorative: gold and rose gold plating, pavé crystal settings, oversized chronograph subdials that are frequently non-functional, and bracelets that echo the jewellery line. Movements are quartz.
These are styling-led accessories, priced accordingly, and they are honest about what they are.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWhat size strap does it take?
10mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
Has the price changed recently?
It's currently at its lowest recorded price since we began tracking it. It's ranged between £202 and £269, today it's £202.
