    Hi there.
    I have a site that ranks well in Google for what I need it to. It has five simple static pages. Lets call this domain.com.

    I have a new website that sells this product. I want to only use the new website.

    My question is this.
    Can I simply 301 redirect all 5 pages from domain.com to www.domain2.com/product without loosing any of my search engine rankings?

    Any advice would be very much appreciated.

    I'd re-create those pages on your new domain and then 301 each old page to the new one. Personally, I wouldn't 301 all pages to just the .com/product page, as you have copy and keywords that might not rank so well on just that one single page, as you do with 5 variations of pages.
