The Pagoda was released in 1997 to commemorate the opening of Patek Philippe's new watchmaking center in Geneva. It was produced in a limited edition of 1'100 pieces in yellow gold, 500 in pink gold, 250 in white gold and 150 in platinum. All reference 5500 are fitted with an unique flared rectangular case with its case band shaped like a Pagoda. To assure collectors that no more reference 5500 could be produced again, Patek Philippe destroyed all the molds involved after the limited production.

The present example has been retained in what appears to be unused condition with minimal surface wear and complete with all original accessories and its presentation case.
