That got a giggle out of me, but here's the likely answer. They measured the current draw of the phone in standby and divided the battery's tested rating by it:
666 days = 15984 hours 32800mAh / 15984 hours = 2.052052... mA
So assuming the phone draws only 2mA of current while in standby (I don't know enough about modern phones to know if this is plausible or not), it checks mathematically.
2mA isn't enough to be in standby AND connected to a network though, so we now we get the trick, like the old PMPO-rated amplifiers nonsense was bogus so this too counts standby as 'ready to be turned on' and not as you would normally expect a phone to be in standby in that it can receive calls. So in fact we all have devices that have 365+days of standby, anything you can turn on by holding (rather than switching) a button after it's turned off would be considered in standby.

How did the manufacturer test the standby time?
Maybe this phone has been in development and testing for two years...
