Say we are given a complex manifold $X$ and an $\mathcal{O}_X$-module $\mathcal{F}$. Assume that for any point $P\in X$ the stalk $\mathcal{F}_P$ is a free $(\mathcal{O}_X)_P$-module of finite rank. Does it imply that $\mathcal{F}$ is locally free? If not, what do you need to know additionally about $\mathcal{F}$ to make it true?

Note that if we were looking at the case of schemes then it would be wrong in general. Mathoverflow answer to a related question is here

Remark: As it was pointed out by Francesco Polizzi, this is true if $\mathcal{F}$ is coherent. What if we do not know it apriori?
