The design, although not the name, was first introduced in the 1930s and was so named due to the supposed influence of a Portuguese retailer for IWC, thought to be Rodrigues and Antonio Teixera. Surprisingly the first dispatch of the now well-known Portuguese design did not make its way to Portugal until 1942, selling initially in Eastern Europe.
