Platinum Bezel Cleaning

I recently picked up a blue dial 116622 YM (my first Rolex!) from an AD and was wondering if there’s a good method to keeping the platinum bezel clean. I’ve seen photos in which there’s some sort of darker “patina” on the sandblasted/matte part of the bezel - perhaps caused by contact with skin oils? Seems like most on TRF use soap/shampoo to clean their watches. Is that still the best route for a platinum bezel? Would be very helpful to hear anyone’s advice or input.

A soft brush with warm water and soap.
