- “For him it was a victory complete and unqualified.”–MACKINTOSH by W. Somerset Maugham
- For him it was a victory which was complete and unqualified.
- For him it was a complete and unqualified victory.
I wonder which sentence is natural.

Sentence 3 is most natural. It is also the strongest way to express the thought in English. Sentence 1 is more poetic. Sentence 2 is awkward.
In America, we would say #3.
This is an even better way to say it:
“It was a complete and unqualified victory for him.”
