The question points out the meaning of "beauty" and the difficulty or impossibility of making comparisons of something as "the most beautiful".
If you mean the most beautiful man-made object in existence, there may be one answer;
or, if you mean the most beautiful man-made object OF ITS KIND, the answer may be different.
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.," is a quote that goes all the way back to the Greeks (Aesop's Fables) It means that beauty is subjective--each person may regard something different as the most beautiful.
What you may regard as the most beautiful man-made object I may regard with total revulsion or laughter.
But aesthetics tells us there are some things that can be valued as beautiful by a large cross-section of intelligent and informed people WITHIN their own society.
Having said that....for sheer form and artistic genius,... for myself....Michaelangelo's "David" surely comes close to the classic definitions of beauty in art, and has withstood changes in taste in art for centuries, and is likely to do so in the future.
Hope this gives you some ideas to think about.

The most beautiful man-made object is I think, the 101 tower in Taipei. It has 101 levels. During the New Year, they had fireworks from every level!

Any of the man made ancient wonders of the world. Some of them through time have been destroyed. All we have are sketches from the past...but wow they must have been amazing to see. : )

That's a hard one. But what came first to my mind was the sculputure "The Winged Victory", so I'll stick with that.
