Rolls-Royce Details One-Off Spectre ‘Bailey’ Commission Honoring Client’s Dog

The finished electric grand tourer showcases artisanal marquetry with exclusive materials to translate a private story into bespoke design.

Overview

  • Rolls-Royce revealed the completed Spectre ‘Bailey,’ a single commission for longstanding U.S. clients curated through the brand’s Private Office New York.
  • The interior centerpiece is a lifelike marquetry portrait on the rear waterfall made from more than 180 veneer pieces, a process that took upwards of four months.
  • Paint specialists created an iridescent two-tone finish—Crystal Fusion over an exclusive Beautiful Bailey hue matched to the dog’s ear—that will not be used on other cars.
  • A hand-painted Rose Gold coachline reproduces Bailey’s actual paw print, matched to the Rose Gold Spirit of Ecstasy, with complementary leather tones echoing the dog’s fur.
  • The dashboard carries a marquetry paw motif and the door sills feature engraved paw prints in Rose Gold, while the portrait uses nine veneers including four materials not previously employed by Rolls-Royce; media estimate the car’s cost near $1 million.
