116713 Bezel Marker Material?

I thought this would be an easy bit of info to find, but so far, I haven't seen it...

On the 116713 GMT Master II (2013 specifically for mine), I know the bezel itself is 18K gold, but what about the markers and numbers? 18K gold? Gold paint? Gold pressed latinum?

Anyone know?

Thanks!

“Rolex ceramic bezel manufacturing” on youtube shows how it’s made.

Markers are gold applied by a sort of powder coating technique
