The new “Pagoda” line was produced in both a men’s and a lady’s versions with the lady’s reference 4900 made in very limited numbers of 500 examples in yellow gold, 150 in pink gold and 100 examples in white gold. The cases have a distinctive design with flared case and the lady’s model with diamond-set numerals.
