How long must a Rolex perpetual be worn to wind it up?

My wife's new Rolex Datejust loses time and stops unless she manually winds it up each day.
For the first few days it was OK but then it began to lose time. She wears it for about 8 hours a day - is that enough?
Is this unusual or has anyone had this problem?
How low should she wear it to be perpetual?
