incomparables
Those without equals
Things or persons beyond comparison—so exceptional that no meaningful standard applies.
The term often designates items in a class by themselves: The auction featured several incomparables from private collections.
In philosophy and aesthetics, incomparables are entities that resist ranking because they differ in kind rather than degree.
