I have had the case replaced on an IWC beater after an climbing accident had resulted in several, literally 1mm deep scars. Despite the minimal cost there I'd just learn to live with the damage if it happened today.
I’d 100% be okay with a replacement case, but I don’t believe Patek will allow it—you can’t just ask for the option and pay up; they decide at their sole discretion.
