all-time record
Never been surpassed
An all-time record is the best or most extreme result ever achieved in a particular category: She set the all-time record for marathon wins.
The phrase emphasizes that no previous instance surpasses it—not just a seasonal or personal best, but the absolute peak across all of recorded history for that measure.
