TRUE LUXURY IS PERSONAL
Running the entire length of fascia in Phantom is a feature that is truly unique. It’s called The Gallery –conceived to house bespoke artistic creations. An uninterrupted glass enclosure to protect and present artwork within the motor car. An unprecedented space in which to curate and to commission fine and contemporary art. A gallery that exhibits and reflects the tastes, desires and personalities of the owner.
PHANTOM SCINTILLA
Entitled Celestial Pulse, the artwork in Phantom Scintilla’s Gallery consists of seven ribbons, each individually milled from solid aluminium, before being adorned with the same finely-grained ceramic finish as the Spirit of Ecstasy figurine. The edges are polished to a mirror shine so that they catch the light, creating a sense of movement and fluidity.
PHANTOM GOLDFINGER
The three-dimensional design, which was hand-drawn, is a precise yet artistic isoline map that shows the contours of the Furka Pass. In the 1964 James Bond film, it is seen on this legendary road, discreetly following Auric Goldfinger to his smelting plant in the Swiss Alps.

The Gallery houses Bespoke marquetry, made of 297 individual pieces and four different wood species. A Rolls-Royce artisan spent three months creating this striking feature, intricately cutting out veneer shapes, then assembling and fixing them by hand. The artwork represents two dragons, enclosed within swirling clouds, guarding the pearl embodied by the Bespoke clock itself.
'Phantom is much more than a motor car.
For 100 years, it has stood at the pinnacle
of all Rolls-Royce motor cars –
a cultural phenomenon that both reflects
and influences the world around it.'
LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION
Phantom has a storied history in cinema, with notable appearances in films such as the early James Bond film Goldfinger and the 1974 movie version of The Great Gatsby. The star of this artwork is a Phantom III, coachbuilt by J Gurney Nutting & Co at its premises off the King’s Road in Chelsea, London, in 1937.
GRAND OCCASIONS
The Phantom IV has a rich history, having been designed specifically for the late Queen Elizabeth II at the behest of her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh. This model represents the close relationship between Rolls‑Royce and the British royal family.
In 1948, when they were young newly-weds, the duke had paid a visit to Rolls‑Royce. Then, having been impressed by an experimental model the brand had loaned him, he asked Rolls‑Royce to build a more formally bodied car suitable for the royal couple’s use. Thus, the first Rolls‑Royce Phantom IV chassis was laid down – and ultimately finished to the Duke of Edinburgh's design – informed, of course, by advice from Rolls‑Royce.
a sense of arrival
This Phantom VII has drawn up alongside the Opéra de Monte-Carlo, its sideview signalling formality, elegance and sheer presence – qualities that make its provenance evident to the viewer.
What we are witnessing is a moment of pure theatre – with the red carpet rolled out to honour an important guest. For this is the private – or “royal” – entrance to the principality’s spectacular opera house, added in the 1870s by Prince Charles III of Monaco. The scene is set and the coachdoor is open, allowing Phantom’s regal passengers to alight as elegantly as ever: the perfect arrival for a night at the opera.
