Michael Kors Petite Chelsea Pavé Gold-Tone 25mm Ladies Watch
Ref. MK7618
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 206 Michael Kors watches in stock.The Chelsea line is Michael Kors' answer to the dress watch that also functions as a wrist ornament — something that sits on a dinner table as comfortably as it sits on the wrist. This reference takes that idea furthest: at 25mm it is unambiguously small, the pavé set along the top ring catching light the way a bangle would, and the brushed H-link bracelet keeping the whole thing flat enough to stack without bulk. Roman numerals on a gold dial at this scale read as jewellery first, and the deployant clasp means it stays put without the fuss of a buckle — a small consideration that makes daily wear noticeably easier.

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?
12mm. 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.
Cheapest place to buy
Goldsmiths is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
