The Jossefy-Exercises are pretty much advanced. They cover everything.

If we speak in terms of technical exercises (Czerny et al), rather than etudes (Chopin et al), I would say Brahms 51 exercises are an advanced set that I find quite helpful.

Brahms/Liszt Paganini Variations

Learn them all and you might be able to play just about anything.

Brahms 51 are commonly assigned to advanced students as warm ups also Liszt's technical excercises are very comprehensive.  A side note Boulanger at the Paris conservatoire used to make her students practice bitonal scales as warm ups and swap hands at the top etc.  A sadist!!
