in existence

Not yet gone

Currently real or present; not extinct, destroyed, or imaginary.

The phrase emphasizes that something actually exists rather than being hypothetical or past: the oldest known manuscript in existence, every copy in existence was destroyed.

Often used with superlatives: the fastest car in existence, the best pizza in existence.
