Icon20 Rolesium - Combination of 904L steel and platinum on new Yachmaster?

I was just reading the new Basel 2012 Brochure off of Rolex's website and it says that the new YachtMasters are made out of "Rolesium". Which is a combination of 904L steel and platinum.

Isn't it just the bezel that has platinum? Or is it really the entire watch that has platinum and 904L steel?

Thoughts?

Its just the dial and bezel they cannot state its pure Platinum unless its all Platinum hence they call it Rolesium. And believe the total weight of 950 grade platinum is just 13 grams total rest of watch is 904L S.steel.
