The Day-Date is one of Rolex's tentpole watches. It has served as a symbol of power and success since its inception. Originally released in 1956, the Day-Date soon became one of the most desirable luxury watches to own at the time.
On the internet you will find about 500 ROLEX Day-Date with the reference 1803 which have the faceted bezel and only less than 30 Day-Date with the rare reference 1802 which have the plain bezel.
This shows the rarity of this reference 1802!
It's an interesting collectors piece!
