Rolls-Royce has introduced the Phantom Centenary Collection, a special edition that celebrates 100 years of the legendary Phantom nameplate, first introduced with the Phantom I in 1925. The ultra-luxury carmaker calls this its most intricate and technologically advanced Private Collection to date, with more than 40,000 hours invested in its creation.

Rolls-Royce Phantom Centenary Collection exterior design

The Phantom Centenary Collection stands out with its sophisticated dual-tone finish of black and white, a colour palette inspired by Hollywood’s golden age. Subtle gold elements highlight the car’s sleek silhouette, lending it a more elegant presence. At the front, the grille pays homage to the original Rolls-Royce emblem, crafted from 18-carat gold and coated with 24-carat gold plating. Each grille bears a special ‘Phantom Centenary’ hallmark, officially certified by London’s Hallmarking and Assay Office.

Inside, the Phantom Centenary Collection showcases unparalleled craftsmanship and artistry. The rear seats, created in collaboration with a renowned fashion studio, feature intricate line patterns, high-definition printed fabric, and delicate golden embroidery. The cabin is adorned with meticulously finished stained Blackwood veneer, while the door panels depict milestones from Phantom’s illustrious past.

Among these is a scene capturing the first Goodwood-era Phantom’s remarkable 4,500-mile journey across Australia. The woodwork combines advanced techniques such as 3D marquetry, ink layering, and gold leafing, with the routes illustrated using wafer-thin 24-carat gold leaf for an exquisite finish.
