Here is a way to Save As in a single call.
--(SCRIPT Pages_save_a_copy]
(*
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : Pages_save_a_copy.scpt
déplacer le fichier créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Utilisateurs:<votreCompte>:Bibliothèque:Scripts:Applications :Pages:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Pages et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Aller au menu Scripts , choisir Pages puis choisir “Pages_save_a_copy”
Le script enregistre une copie du document au premier plan
au format natif de Pages en ajoutant la date et l'heure au nom du fichier.
--=====
L'aide du Finder explique:
L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
+++++++++
Save the script as a Script: Pages_save_a_copy.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Pages:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Pages and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Go to the Scripts Menu, choose Pages, then choose “Pages_save_a_copy”
The script saves the frontmost document
in the native Pages format in a date_time stamped file.
--=====
The Finder's Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox

--[/SCRIPT]
--{code}
Open a document.
Run the script once you will have a date_time stamped copy of its original state.
Make wanted changes.
Run the script which will automatically save the doc adding a date_time stamp to its name.
When you have finished, close the mainb file which will save the late changes if they arent already saved.
If you want to keep the changes in the main doc, leave iot as is.
If you want to retrieve the doc in iots original state, delete the doc and rename the first date_time stamped file removing its date_time stamp.
