Your system just needs to include the appropriate gearing.
Many rotating restaurants such as the one on the space needle in Seattle rotate at one revolution per hour.
Altering this ratio to produce one revolution per day shouldn't be that difficult.
Chances are you can get by with a very small motor relative to the load.

How much torque do you need? Does "system" include gears? If you can find a 24hour analog clock, the hour hand drive is a one revolution "motor system". One could cascade commercial gear reducers to get almost any ratio. How smooth the the motion have to be? driving a stepper motor with a micro controller and a micro stepping drive could any speed below a certain maximum, a revolution a year if you wanted.
Very high gear ratios are available in harmonic drives with substantial torque.
