Each miniature Cullinan is handcrafted to the client’s specification using over 1,000 individual components.

You won’t find another Rolls-Royce quite like the “Rose” Phantom. The Rolls-Royce Bespoke Collective personalized the interior of this Phantom for a Swedish entrepreneur, embroidering the starlight headliner, door panels and dashboard with a unique flower scene.
