Wallace held his nerve, claiming the title at the first sudden-death hole, the par-four 18th, with a birdie.
The 34-year-old’s last win on the Europe-based DP World Tour came six years in Denmark.
In third, a shot behind the play-off protagonists, came another English player, Andrew Johnston, with home Swiss hope Cedric Gugler and Australian Jason Scrivener in a tie for fourth, two shots further back.
Waterford’s Gary Hurley, who was the only Irish player in the field this week, finished in a tie for 56th place on two-over.
