When Rolls Royce Meets Rolex Wheels: Redefining Flashy Luxury

28 Nov 2025
  • Why did the owner choose Rolex themed wheels and what makes the design unique?
  • How does this build break away from regular custom car projects?

Rolls Royce has long stood for understated luxury, the kind that never needs to shout to make an impression. But one daring owner has flipped the script by adding custom wheels inspired by the iconic Rolex Submariner, turning a Phantom VIII into a jaw dropping statement piece. This project blurs the lines between quiet elegance and high profile extravagance, proving that for some collectors, luxury has no limits.

Rolex Inspired Wheels: What’s Behind the Owner’s Choice

For Klaus Konigsallee, who counts diamonds and rare watches among his daily essentials, regular luxury was not enough. The answer was bold: commission German tuner Novitec to build custom wheels modeled after the Rolex Submariner’s legendary bezel. Each twenty four inch rim features chunky time markings, deep edged accents, and fine lines mimicking the signature style of a Submariner. Details are everywhere, including the owner’s name Klaus in the wheel center and an engraved phrase that nods to his favorite jeweler on the exclusive Konigsallee shopping boulevard in Dusseldorf. This is not just a set of wheels, it is a rolling tribute to timeless style.

Quiet Luxury or Over the Top: What Sets This Project Apart

Luxury car makers and watch brands have teamed up for decades, but it is rare to see a watch design take over a car’s exterior in such a dramatic way. The Phantom’s former wheels were already massive, but the new Rolex inspired setup transforms the car from understated cruiser to spotlight stealer. Instead of subtlety, the owner chose to make his message visible from blocks away. This build sits at the intersection of quiet and loud luxury. For some, it may look excessive, but in the world of ultra wealthy collectors, the point is to keep raising the bar. It is about pushing creative limits and showing the world that true luxury means making your own rules.
