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.

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. JJ

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.
