A close showdown was expected in the final but the world number five Selby was leading 7-1 after the first session against Gilbert, ranked 12th.
The “Jester” finished off with a 101 break to secure his 16th world ranking title.
Gilbert had little to show in response, scoring a respectable 101 break to at least avoid a whitewash.
"It's been a long time since I won my last tournament," said Selby. "I've been second guessing myself wondering if I am doing things right."
