A minimal model of spontaneous CP violation and natural flavor conservation is presented in the context of the standard SU(5) grand unification. Some of its main features are analyzed, with special emphasis on implications for proton decay. A salient feature of the model is the fact that all vector-gauge-boson interactions are CP conserving. As a result of the gauge hierarchy, the interactions of the baryon-number-violating color triplets of Higgs bosons are also CP conserving, leading to no CP violation in proton decay.
