Recasing a Patek 27-460 Calendar movement?

Hi Experts,

I was just wondering if anyone has any experience from getting Patek Philippe to recase a 27-460 movement?

When I say recasing, I mean, a total casing. I have the working movement, but not the case or dial. Would Patek case it for me if I brought it into their service center? In simple words, make that movement into a WATCH. a movement without the case/dial hands is just a movement only.

Yes, the 27-460 is a vintage movement and also the calendar version. Does anyone have any experience in getting Patek Philippe to officially case it?

Cheers!
