will an iPhone model A1532 work with a European provider?

I live in Curacao and have an Iphone 5s Model A1532. I will be moving to The Netherlands very shortly and wonder if I can take my Iphone with me since I read on the Internet that in The Netherlands they use model A1475. So, if I will not be able to use it, I will have to try and sell it very quickly. Hope that somebody can answer me shortly. Thanks.

I see that model 1533 has LTE bands: LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 13, 17, 19, 20, 25)

and model 1475 (Bands 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20).


Would that mean that if in The Netherlands they use Band 7, which is not supported by model 1533, 4G would not work?


How about the other bands, of which several are similar (1,2,3,5,8 and 20)? Would that make 4G work?


And if not, would the phone itself work with 3G?
