Pete huvaliwa kidoleni na kugeuzwa kuelekea mwanga, ili muundo wake wazi utengeneze vivuli na mifumo mkononi. Umbo lake ni lenye uwiano mzuri na uzito mwepesi. Matao yenye ustadi wa ergonomiki pande zote mbili hupumzika dhidi ya vidole vya jirani kwa ajili ya starehe. Muundo huu ulitengenezwa kwa kutumia programu ya kompyuta ya vipimo vitatu (3D), ukachapishwa kwa nta kisha ukasubiwa kwa dhahabu ya njano ya karati 18 ukiwa na umaliziaji wa kung'aa kama kioo. Pia huzalishwa katika matoleo ya dhahabu ya rangi ya waridi (rose gold) na fedha.
