Rolls-Royce Phantom sits at the apex of the luxury world, gracing some of the most formative moments of history. It proudly counts many influential and revered individuals among its collectors. As the brand has evolved, so has the face of its patrons. That face today is more and more feminine, with Patronnes who sit at the apex of their business and industries. These women excel as business and community leaders and their charitable efforts span an array of causes. Rolls-Royce captured the passion and personality of nine Phenoms in creating a visual gallery of their common excellence and will host a series of local events to honor these individuals. Each event is designed to raise funds for a local or national charity supported by the Phantom Phenom.
