Take a look at Bolex P 1 or a Leveque, or maybe a black Leica II, or maybe a Thornton Pickard tropical quarter plate, or maybe an Arriflex or a Nikon F. Or a Hassy 1000F. Or a Polaroid whatever it's called in the leather clam, or a tiny Minox or Tessina. Or a Contarex. Or an Arco....or a Canon Dial

This website seems to think so and I had to laugh when the guy said if its build quality had been better it would have been as good as an OM1! What a dick - even if he is only joking!
No one has mentioned the original Contax RTS yet and that's one nice-looking camera. Porsche design, Zeiss lenses, a smooth, classical and uncluttered appearance. What's not to like? I prefer the first version over the second because it has the elegant self-timer lever rather than the big round LED affair.

Dick or not, I have to agree that a slightly brassed black OM1 with 50/1.4 is drop dead gorgeous.

In Leica space, the M3 beats everything ....

The Olympus OM1 is pure porn IMO for us Leica RF shooters.
Others in the running are the Alpa and Topcon bodies for me.

As for the Nikon RFs, S2 > SP > (1, M, S) > (S3, S4) .

How about this one...
I am joking, of course. I cannot decide which is the most handsome, but this one is for sure the ugliest camera I own.

The Contax II and the Leica IIIf trounce the M6 with a hand tied behind the back.
But for sheer preetyness, try a Baby Rolleiflex.
