Rolls-Royce has done it again, this time customizing a bespoke Phantom into a tranquil Japanese tea garden. Called Serenity, the $1 million auto’s exterior is painted a specially-mixed Mother of Pearl color that was polished for 12 hours, while the interior is swathed in a gorgeous handwoven upholstery that was made from 33 feet of hand-dyed silk. Covered in cherry blossoms that were hand-embroidered and hand-painted on the silk, each panel of the auto’s interior took a reported 600 hours to finish, taking the one-off Serenity Phantom into legitimate fine art territory.

“Continuing the theme of ultimate luxury, hand painted intricately weaved silks, Smoked Cherrywood with Bamboo cross banding and laser-cut, hand applied mother of pearl inlays combine to reinforce the rear compartment of Phantom as the most tranquil, beautiful place to be, a place where time and the outside world simply slip past,” says the brand.

The front seats are treated with white leather, while the panels have pearl and ruby accents to finish off the overall look. Unfortunately, since the Serenity is a one-off design, it’s next to impossible to get your hands on one—unless you manage to get your hands on this one.
