I was claimed to have perfect pitch in high school (a few years ago). I could tune from a player just playing. I could hear the tuning pitch as they play through and continue hearing it in my head and tune to it (whether the other player was playing or not) or just tune without any reference.

For me, the key always was hearing the specific tone in my head and duplicating it on the instrument. This also allowed me to "ghost" play someone playing music without knowing the music nor seeing them play.

nowadays it really helps in tuning pianos. I can "hum" all the semitones in my head and compare it to the note I'm tuning. But I still use a tuner with me just in case .. the extreme higher and lower notes on a piano confuse my brain.
