Rolls Royce is marking 100 years of the Phantom nameplate with one of the most ambitious collector cars it has ever created. The new Phantom Centenary Private Collection is limited to just 25 units worldwide, and it is packed with handcrafted details, 24 carat gold trim, and an interior unlike anything seen before. Built over three years and involving over 40,000 hours of work, this exclusive edition is more than a luxury sedan, it is a moving art gallery that honors the legacy of an icon.
The Phantom Centenary model features a bold two tone paint job in Arctic White and Black, with a shimmer created by crushed glass infused in the clear coat. At the center of attention sits a solid 18 carat gold Spirit of Ecstasy ornament, finished in 24 carat gold for a lasting shine.
Four Rolls Royce badges in 24 carat gold and white enamel are also featured on the body, while special disc wheels with 25 engraved lines honor the number of units being made. This is not just a show of wealth, it is a tribute to craftsmanship, storytelling, and automotive art.
Inside, the rear cabin transforms into a three layered artwork celebrating the Phantom's legacy. The background shows famous places tied to the model’s history, the second layer displays classic Phantom generations, and the top layer is embroidered with seven symbolic figures from each generation.
This embroidered masterpiece took over a year and features more than 160,000 stitches. The front seats add their own layer of storytelling with etched sketches including references like the Seagull codename from 1923 and a rabbit symbol nodding to the Phantom’s 2003 revival.
Wood panels use multi directional marquetry, laser etching, 3D ink layers, and gold leaf to create dimensional surfaces with unique designs. Other standout features include a gold infused Piano Black veneer, gold rotary dial, and a 6.75 liter V12 engine covered in Arctic White with gold detailing. The animated Starlight Headliner completes the theme with 440,000 stitches.
