A HAND-BUILT MASTERPIECE
A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME EXPERIENCE

‘Boat Tail is our most ambitious project yet. Coachbuild, in collaboration with its clients, has ignored all preconceived notions of possibility and set a new standard. This is Bespoke at its purest.’
Boat Tail’s nautical form evokes graceful J-class yachts and a 1932 Rolls-Royce Boat Tail the owners lovingly restored as part of their expansive collection.
Modern open-pore Caleidolegno offsets the soft blue lacquer. Reminiscent of wooden hull forms, the material is skilfully book matched and perfectly symmetrical.
The clients’ favourite hue: an oceanic blue infused with shimmering crystals. The complex colour is subtle in shadow and vibrant in light. Its smooth edges were achieved by delicately running a finger over the definitive body line before the paint set.
At the press of a button, the deck opens in a sweeping butterfly gesture, revealing an intricate hosting suite replete with a whimsical parasol. Its movement evokes cantilever concepts explored by renowned architect Santiago Calatrava.
Two-sided timepieces, one for the lady and one for the gentleman, can be worn or placed within the fascia as car clocks. The timepieces required Rolls-Royce and Bovet 1822 to work in partnership for over three years.
A double refrigerator houses the clients’ favourite vintages of Armand de Brignac champagne. Bottles can be rapidly cooled to precisely six degrees – the optimum serving temperature of the preferred vintage.
‘Capturing the client’s personality is fundamental; Coachbuild elevates this principle to its highest plane. It is an artistic skillset only existing at Rolls-Royce.’
