unimitated
Without any replicas
Unimitated means not copied or replicated by others.
Something unimitated remains singular, without imitators: Her style was unique and unimitated.
The word often carries a note of distinction—what hasn't been imitated may be too original, too difficult, or too peculiar to reproduce.
