This One-Off Rolls-Royce ‘The Pearl Cullinan’ Is A Birthday Gift From A Client To His 90-year Old Dad
This one-off Rolls-Royce ‘The Pearl Cullinan’ is a luxury birthday gift from a client to his 90-year Old father.
‘The Pearl Cullinan’ is painted in a gorgeous shade called Pearl Rose, a color inspired by the owner’s most valuable pearl.
Rolls-Royce said the Pearl Rose color is only available for the ‘The Pearl Cullinan’ and will not be available to any of its future client.
‘The Pearl Cullinan’ features one of the most extensive uses of mother-of-pearl ever seen in a Rolls-Royce motor car.
Mother-of-pearl found on central rotary dial, clock surround and the Rear Picnic Tables – latter inlaid with 1,351 separate pieces.
British luxury marque Rolls-Royce Motors has delivered ‘The Pearl Cullinan’ – a one-off Bespoke luxury car painted in a gorgeous shade called Pearl Rose commissioned by a longstanding Rolls-Royce client and presented to his father as a 90th birthday gift.
Originally commissioned in early 2022, ‘The Pearl Cullinan’ is the first Bespoke project to be revealed by the Private Office Dubai, which works with local Dealer Partners to bring the authentic Goodwood experience to clients across the Middle East and Africa region.
To understand his passions and life story, Regional Director, César Habib, and Bespoke Lead Designer, Michelle Lusby, were introduced to the client’s father and these meetings provided valuable insights to inform the design direction for the commission.

Inside, ‘The Pearl Cullinan’ comes in two different leather colours. The front seats – where the father prefers to travel as a passenger – are finished in his favourite Cashmere Grey while the rear seats are trimmed in Ardent Red.

Michelle Lusby, Bespoke Lead Designer at the Private Office Dubai, said :
“For me, there was a huge emotional connection with this Bespoke project. I had the privilege of spending time with the commissioning family, which allowed me to discuss details of the design directly with them, and really understand their true significance.
“Their unique use of mother-of-pearl was a great creative and technical challenge for us: to see the Picnic Tables go from my original digital designs to those beautiful, highly detailed finished works of art was fantastic. This is a truly special commission in so many ways, and a project we aspire to have as Rolls-Royce designers. Emotions inspire our imaginations.”
