Michael Kors Petite Essex Two-Tone Watch 20mm x 27mm Ladies Watch
Ref. MK4999
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 225 Michael Kors watches in stock.A small rectangular case — 20 mm wide, 27 mm tall and 7 mm thick — sits neatly on the wrist without imposing. The stainless steel construction carries a two-tone finish throughout, with a fixed silver-tone bezel framing a white dial dressed with Roman numerals, gold-tone baton indices and three matching gold-tone hands. The polished bracelet continues the two-tone treatment and fastens with a jewellery deployment clasp. A scratch-resistant mineral crystal protects the dial, and the watch is water resistant to 50 metres.

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 comparedIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
