crown of glory
Highest possible achievement
A crown of glory is something that brings great honor or serves as the highest achievement.
The phrase comes from biblical language describing a reward for faithfulness.
Gray hair is sometimes called a crown of glory, treating age as honorable rather than diminishing: Her white hair was her crown of glory.
More broadly, any culminating triumph or source of pride: The cathedral was the crown of glory of medieval architecture.
