Well, first Rolex does not make any perpetual calendar watch. If you want a perpetual calendar watch, you'd want to turn to brands like the IWC (whole calendar adjusted via the winding crown) and Patek (adjusted via a pin provided that you insert into push holes in the case).

Yes, since no Rolex watch has a perpetual calendar, you'd need to manually adjust the date in months that have less than 31 days.

There are some watch manufacturers out there who do make the Perpetual Calendar in quartz.

One of the most reputed companies is LONGINES. They do make a very good product and it's still pretty affordable. If you really want a fine Perpetual Calendar watch and don't mind quartz, Longines would be the way to go.

There is perpetual calendar that comes wrapped in a newspaper. It is made by the Swiss Museum of Horology. It is a very cool watch.
