Quite unique arrgh!

Unique is an absolute, like pregnant.  Either is or is not.  Like pregnancy there may be a period of time in which the condition is unknown.  In the first few days no one knows if a baby is on the way, no one knows whether the something exists elsewhere or has been done before.
If you want to modify pregnant or unique (because you aren't certain of the situation), use likely, possibly, probably.
Quit quite!
